Transdisappointed

Rating: 4/10 (7 July 2007)

They have all that money and great special effects and no imagination! Maybe they were going for the Transformer fan. Obviously not for the sci-fi or fantasy fan.
They even threw in a few cute factors. After I saw the first one, I almost left the theater. I was thinking, "You've have got to be kidding me." Cute is one thing, but the tooth fairy bit, that was lame. I think Spielberg has been hanging around Lucas too much.
Seriously. Find a "writer" next time. This was obviously written by marketing. If it weren't for the cast and special effects, it wouldn't have been worth my time and money. This movie's story/plot is like water in a sieve. Perhaps the Transformer fans could see the Transformer story bits, but that is all there was. They tried adding other alien urban legend type of references, but it didn't help. In fact very contrived.
Perhaps a different director would've worked, unless this one's hands were tied. Then I would feel sorry for him.
How about throwing some of that money at us creative filmmakers?? Vive Le indie!!
