Overrated.

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2008)

The way 'Transformers' has been turned into a teen comedy, something similar happened to 'Iron Man'.
The movie keeps up only thanks to Robert Downey Jr. The whole young-genius-billionaire-scapegrace thing was pretty lame though.
Right after Jeff Bridges appears on the screen it's absolutely clear what's his character gonna be. Some of the characters were absolutely unnecessary, useless and undeveloped. E.g. James Rhodes or agent Coulson.
The final showdown is also pretty lame and predictable.
6 out of 10 might be not as low as it's described above, but I expected so much more from this movie. And it certainly doesn't correspond with all the hype. The comic book fans will probably find something amusing but I'm not one though.
