I was disappointed...

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2008)

First, I never watched the cartoon or bought any of the merchandising when I was growing up. I was excited to see the movie anyway. The only two redeeming aspects of the movie are Megan Fox and the appearance of the new Chevy Camero. Both are hot!!! Shia LaBeouf plays a very obnoxious teenager that is full of too much talk. I got tired of him right from the beginning. I saw that same character in "I, Robot". The movie also has the typical drawn out action/chase sequences where everything gets destroyed (buildings, cars, etc).
I did like some of the attempts at humor. The Transformers themselves were pretty cool. I just thought the movie was completely formula and the acting and dialog was terrible. If the movie was from the viewpoint of the Transformers instead of Shia LaBeaouf's character, maybe the film would have been better.
