Transformers! Play dumb!

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2007)

First off I would like to say that I'm glad to see Transformers live action feature and that I'm thrilled by all the cgi and the realism it portrayed but... I kinda expected it to be more serious and with depth. Autobots turnout to be like over-sized kids who play all the time, while Desepticons were to scary (maybe that's the good point). Other thing is that there were to many characters that play important roles but haven't been developed enough and yet to many scenes that were just a cgi show offs. Megatron turned out to be twice the size of Optimus, and Bumblebee is a Camaro? O.K. I understand that Volkswagen didn't gave their permission to use Beattle, but hey, why are Autobots modeled after American cars only? Another cheap patriotism trick, or good marketing. I hope that we will see some more serious plot lines and less "kids play" in the sequel that will surely follow.
