2/10...just because some of the effects that I could discern from the chaos were OK

Rating: 2/10 (12 January 2008)

Has everyone forgotten how UBER-cool the Transformers used to be?? The original movie had the voice of Orson Welles for GODS sake! I simply cannot understand a film that justifies itself by a- "Well, 50 million girls are tuning in to 'The OC' every week, so lets take our script down a similar route" philosophy. I'm not saying the genre should make for an exclusively boys' film....but C' MOOO-OOON!- I've heard gutsier dialogue in trailers for 'One Tree Hill'. The effects that I could make out were fairly convincing...Most of the time, however, you need the reflexes of a May Fly to actually see whats going on. Which, I'm sorry, in Mac Monkey land spells out one thing....LAZY. This truly is an unwatchable crock. Unless you mute the sound off and watch it to some kickin' drum and bass, that actually works!
