80percent of the Actionscenes are great the rest of the Movie is not.

Rating: 3/10 (4 August 2007)

And the summary is put VERY NICE.
I'm not a Michael Bay fan, though I think The Rock is one hell of a piece of nice Actionmovie and I really enjoyed Bad Boys. Mostly his movies are brainless but full of actionsequences that are nice to watch on the silver screen.
Not so with TRANSFORMERS. The Script was a rag rug put into existence in such loveless ways that your brain just had to kick back in and produce all those thoughts revolving around the word BAD. Everything on the storyside made the impression of a not well thought out shortmovie script. On the Acting and (actor-)directing side ... All of us know Michael Bay is not great in directing actors ... but in this movie he proofs HOW bad he can be and how much even the best actors depend on a good director ... if they don't get one ... you get TRANFORMERS.
So ... what about the Action? The strong side of Michael Bay ... not much to impress here either. There are some VERY NICE Action scenes (very nice, not mind-numbing, what it should have been) with a lot of stuff getting blown up ... so often ... this seems absolute senseless and 20 to 30 percent of the actionscenes ... are just ... LAME ... because you don't see whats happening ... in those scenes you seem to see a big Ball of Trash shot in close-ups and with too much of a "shaky-cam" so you're constantly asking yourself: "whats happening here? who's fighting who?"
I went into TRANSFORMERS expecting a bad movie storysided and no acting at all, but with nice action that's worth the 8 dollars for my ticket. It was not. They should put all the GOOD actionscenes together in one reel, than that would be watchable ... yet THIS movie ... in the cinema ... is not.
