They only achieved that through massively reinventing the superficial aspects of the brand (which is a large part of it) and I don't think even TF movie supporters would call them "serious" let alone hold them as a positive example of how to translate kid's shows to movies.

In fact, the "direction" the Transformers movies took seems to be exactly what people don't want this movie to be. From the mention of 'dark and gritty' and the assumption that swearing equals maturity you just described everything wrong with the mentality of these adaptations.
