It's a Michael Bay movie - 'nuff said...

Rating: 2/10 (11 March 2016)

A high school student, Sam (played by Shia LeBeouf), buys his first car. The car turns out to be a Transformer, a robot that can transform itself into many different things (but mostly vehicles). The car is a benevolent Transformer but there are evil ones out there...
The fact that this is directed by Michael Bay should tip you off that this is going to filled with many spectacular explosions, and nothing else. Spectacularly bad, just like Pearl Harbour: weak plot, laughable dialogue, wooden acting.
Clearly made for kids. Ironically, it is 2.5 hours long, making it a bit too long for kids' concentration spans. Mr Bay clearly has not even adhered to the first rule of movie making - if you can't make a good movie, make a short movie.
