Rating: 3/10 (25 February 2008)

A waste. This movie was written by a pair of 12 year old kids.
-A 10 minute scene where the mighty auto bots hid from Sam's mom and dad? - Acting great John Turtorro gets urinated on by a robot? Then undressing? - When did this film turn into Men in Black? and Why?! - If grandpa Wickwiki discovered Megatron and the all-spark in the arctic, and his glasses were imprinted with the location of the all-spark, how would the glasses shot the location of the all-spark as hoover dam some 75+ years later? - Does Micheal Bay see all black people as gangsters or jesters? Does he see all Arabs as living at desert Oasises? Does he see all Japanese as Samuria a (A karate chopping cell phone?) Racist. - Josh Duhamel grabs a bike, starts it, rides under a Decepticon, and shoots it from underneath? Ridiculously overdone action sequences like this repeating... - 20-something kitsch department of defense employees? Really? - Did it matter that Megan Fox had a juvenile record? Sam bought and registered a car without a title? - Soundwave making r2d2 noises and dancing around? - Can Micheal Bay not shoot a film to look like Bad Boys? - Deceptacons wipe out all communication, but somehow Jets can be scrambled and pilots can communicate with each other? I don't buy the shortwave radio bit for a second. - Day into night - twice during action shots (first at the SOCCENT base, later for Bumblebee's fight with Barricade), the action starts out in broad daylight and, in an implausibly short time, goes to black night. Seriously, was anyone paying attention?
Sloppy. Laudable plot. Terrbible writing. This film could have been so much more. A real failure
