A movie can not exist on effects alone!

Rating: 2/10 (16 August 2007)

After all the hype, "Transformers" came in with a bang and went out with silent sigh. I am sorry to say it was a very big disappointment. The effects were good but how often do you need to see them transform. It became quite repetitive for my taste. Acting?
The seasoned actors (Anthony Anderson, Jon Voight, John Tuturro et. al) did a good job but the ingénues remained ingénues in the excitement of their actions (DeBeouf and debunked and the touch of prettiness. Megan Fox).
I guess any Transformer fan might have got their rocks off being familiar with the figures, voices and story line but for us foreign to this all, I can imagine had the same reaction as myself - what another waste in talent and money and my time!
