Kudos for the throwbacks. But whole thing shoulda been thrown back.

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2014)

Transformers has ruined everything! Curse you Michael Bay! Serious! I'm not even going to bother to take the time to look up the hunk they grew in a test tube to play the marine. I'm sure he's a nice guy but he sucked. Poor man's Channing Tatum fighting the bogey man with his chin. Bryan Cranston was convincing. But dead in 20 minutes. Ken Watanabe was there to look scared, pronounce Gojira, and remind us that this is a Japanese movie. If another freaking movie takes down the Golden Gate bridge, I'm going to stop watching movies altogether. Best parts were the throwbacks. But like I said, they should've thrown this mackerel back in the stinking ocean and trawled on for something fun.
