Bay transforms high expectations to total disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2007)

I am surely in the minority but I can't help it. This was a disappointment for me. But I am not surprised...thanks for nothing to Bay. The idea of the Transformers was good enough. The first part of the movie was good enough. I actually started to like the movie because the introduction to the characters was very well done and the Transformers looked believable. But during the action back in the US of A, it lost its way. The interaction between the characters was so unbelievable. Sure the story is a fantasy, but when you have such a fantasy as this one could have been, making the characters act like idiots doesn't help the movie. Of course Bay had to exaggerate everything. I am not sure why he has to push everything over the edge, and I do mean everything! Go if you loved the Transformers as a child, you can still feel like a kid at this movie. Just don't expect lasting quality beyond the appearances of the bots.
