Pretty Much the Definition of Dumb Action Flick

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2009)

Another of Michael Bay's big, dumb, uber-macho action films.
This has all the Bay trademarks -- the copious use of slow motion, the emphatic sound effects, the thudding plot exposition. The recent Bourne movies have proved that effective action films don't have to treat their audiences like they're retarded, but Bay apparently hasn't yet gotten that memo.
And there's always something vaguely homoerotic about movies like this. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're always watching a bunch of sweaty men playing with their big guns.
Grade: C+
