Pretty oh so pretty picture. Thats what will hit you when the first transformation takes place. And the build up to this is handled fantastically. Young Shia does a great job and Bay, i believe for the first time in his career, has created a like-able character. And the initial action is great. The daylight desert attack was brilliant. Then it turns into a parody of itself. Masturbation jokes, bumblebee peeing on john Tuturro (i doubt even the Coen brothers would have thought of that one) and the worst bad guy in living memory. Yes transformers boys, he looked cool and from the cartoon you know he's evil, but from the man in the streets point of view this guy just wakes up, screams "I am Megatron" then dies. The initial action sequences were very exciting then they turn monotonous. A giant robot movie should be 2 hours max.
