Terrible film... Where were the Decepticons?

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2007)

Really just a tremendous waste of time. Most of the film is listening to the main character whine about his car and his not having a girlfriend. The autobots are portrayed as stupid (they didn't know that they shouldn't trample on people's houses). What little action there is is brief and unrealistic, even for a movie about giant transforming robots. Most of the Decepticons aren't even given names and don't speak English for some reason. The film tries to pass off Kanji as "alien symbols." Everybody sort of forgets that nobody killed Starscream at the end of the film. He blew up a plane and disappeared. The jokes are absolutely painful, and the only person who can act is Jon Voight. Come to think of it, Jon Voight (the actor, not his character) is a pretty cool guy.
