Outrageously bad film

Rating: 2/10 (22 July 2007)

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm not the type of person to write reviews like this, but I was so disappointed in the film that here I am. This speaks volumes already. The following is a short review I wrote on a forum which I frequent:
BAD film!!
It totally molested all that was 'Transformers'. Humans outrunning transformers, the transformers looked cack IMO.. Too scrawny and not blocky enough with enough colour. They were weak. The voices weren't great. The music was terrible! Nothing Transformer-y about it. And what was with the crappy humour? The biggest thing was probably the focus on humans throughout, which was one of the biggest mistakes possible, IMO. Who cares about humans when there are Transformers!!
The film was bad because of: - bad acting - typical soppy scenes.. very cliché - totally Americanised in the worst way possible - Crappy plot - Sometimes couldn't tell what was going on in the action scenes.. way too FXed up.. more story and character development, please.
Everybody came out saying it was great, but then they didn't look like the type of people who would think full-stop. Oh, I missed the first ten minutes, but I'm glad I spent running to the cinema. At least I got some exercise out of it.
I am totally disappointed. 3/4 of the way through I started racking up the bad points for this review. I think I've said enough.
If you really want to see some Transformers, get the original cartoon series on DVD. Althugh it costs a lot, it's a much better alternative than giving Michael Bay money to watch this utter travesty.
