I want the 2 hours of my life back that I spent watching this film

Rating: 4/10 (15 October 2007)

Oh, Transformers...what can I say? I really wanted to like this movie, but I just couldn't make myself. Here's why, there was very little character development of the autobots (except for Bumblebee) so I didn't really care what happened to them, also this movie should have either been PG or R. It lost so much of it's potential trying to please everyone. Very few movies can be for both kids and adults and still be excellent. I had a few other problems with the movie as well, like could they make the girl more TAN or SLUTY looking? And her character is kinda unbelievable. Also I found that the movie promoted some racial stereotypes. There were some bright spots in the movie...the back story on Sam's family was cool (although a bit underdeveloped), the actor who plays Sam is very charismatic, and of course the special effects were cool.
