well, the fact that it is no longer actors in suits, but CGI characters with an actor's face on them is different. And the preview shows a less "linear" feel to it, unlike the original.
Flamesuit on but 1983 Transformers G1 beginnings had little more appeal than HeMan. At the time would this seem to translate into a blockbuster? Hardly. Look at what the movie recently did at the box office.
Albeit an incredibly stupid movie (probably the worst I've seen in years), I'd hardly call the new Transformers a failure.. it's raked in $379 million so far

The success of Transformers is a credit to the concept, nothing more. We now have the technology to actually show giant robots beating the crap out of each other. It's that premise that sold the movie. Light cycles just ain't gonna cut it, IMO. I hope I'm proved wrong!

Another one I will wait for the DVD to see but then again I don't fall into the demographic movie producers rely on so they don't make films for my benefit.
Sounds like they aren't making them for yours either.

It is a Michael Mann movie... a weak story gets buried under lots of special effects.
Michael Bay's movies are sometimes entertaining. The Rock was fun, Armageddon is great if you can forget high school physics, but some of his other movies make me want to scream or fall asleep, Bad Boys 2, Pearl Harbour, and Transformers 2 are some of the worst movies I have ever seen!
