one of the worst movies ever

Rating: 2/10 (21 August 2007)

i didn't expect much form this adaptation but nevertheless i was disappointed.
to begin with the good part: of course, the sfx were stunning (1 point); but by times the movements of the robots during the fight scenes were so fast that it is hard to tell the good robots from the bad ones.
but then: there is practically no plot. there is NO dramatic development of the scenes: every scene starts with an explosion or an attack without any preparation, thrill or suspense (nor even surprise). and the worst of all: the dialog is absolutely ridiculous and stupid throughout the hole movies. not one sentence hasn't been in at least 100 other movies (inclusivly the introduction of a catchphrase, full of pathos of course, in the beginning that will be picked up again at the end - a method that always makes me nauseous). not to speak of the apologetic (and politically dangerous) depiction of military "heroism" i.e. violence.
the only silver lining was john turturro who manages to bring some humor and satiric twist into the movies - therefore two points.
