I don't want it to be exactly like my childhood - but basically all the decisions, story-telling, aesthetic look, designs, and art style is basically the complete opposite of all the things I like. I think those robots are the ugliest things I've ever seen.

I am a person who inherently hates things if they don't fit into my view of how I would like things to look. That's always been my nature. I've always been depressed even as a kid when I'm inside ugly buildings. I've always been unhappy when I see ugly cars, etc...

That's another part of my beef with the movie. The all GM-car line-up. BARF!!! In fact, I probably care more about the art and design than I do the actual story or plot or anything in the movie.
