Noisy robots doing a whole lot of nothing.

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2015)

Behold the filmmaking of Michael Bay, which consists entirely of hot women, bad actors, and noisy robots jumping all over the place. The transformer toys are a childhood favorite for many across the world, appealing mostly to young boys. Now director Michael Bay has them on the big screen in a pg-13 rated film. I give credit to Bay for allowing there to be a plot and not just a bunch of metal flying around and blowing u. Well actually that's all there is. In addition to a ridiculous concept and horrendous acting from Shia LaBeouf and the young hottie Megan Fox, Bay fills the screen with ear-piercing noises and overdone visual effects that consist entirely of making as much of a raucous as possible. Literally, I had no idea what the motivation for all this destruction was. At one point I wondered if anyone would pay attention to how mega-robots were destroying everything in sight and if anyone died in the process of this mayhem. "Transformers" is a joke of a film, relying mostly on the stupidity of Michael Bay's direction and the shattering visuals that bombard our senses in a negative way. What we have to sit through is teenager Sam Witwicky's (LaBouef) first car actually being an alien robot. This isn't the only alien to arrive on Earth. Optimus Prime and a fellow group of transforming robots have arrived in search of the Allspark. But Optimus Prime and the Autobots aren't the only aliens to appear. Megatron and the Decepticons are also searching for the Allspark, and they would do anything to get it, even if it means destroying the world. Yep, I'm afraid this is what they're calling entertainment these days. Nothing wrong with a fun film once in a while dominated by heavy visual use and funky sounds. But Bay doesn't get it. He uses too much stupidity and unflattering cinematic techniques to deliver a money-making piece of trash with zero entertainment factors and a whole lot of heart-scratching.
