Transformers didn't live up to the hype i've heard

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2007)

For the last week all I've heard is that I should "GO SEE TRANSFORMERS!!!" from by friends and from people on TV etc. I really didn't think that it lived up to the hype.
The special effects were incredible, and that asset alone is why I gave this movie a 7.
I usually don't mind unrealistic movies like aliens, robots, or superhero type films. I can accept the fact that these things can do super human type things or unrealistic type things. But when humans start doing stunts that just aren't realistic at all, I just start to lose a bit of my interest. Some of the lines and scenes just seemed completely awkward or un-needed. The script could have been a little cleaner and a few scenes could have been left out (i.e. tooth-fairy) The movie is pretty long too, or at least it seemed like it. I love going to the movies and sitting down for a long time and soaking up the excitement, but in this case I thought it might have dragged on a little too far. This really didn't have too much of an effect on my rating, but I thought I'd throw it in.
I'm glad I saw this movie (more like got forced to from all the hype). The special effects are pretty sweet and the plot isn't too bad. I wouldn't pay to see it again like some other movies I've seen recently.
