This movie was NOT "more than meets the eye"!...

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2007)

For those of us who HAVE watched The "Transformers" growing up, this movie was just too "busy" and, at some point, confusing. The movie was supposed to be about Transformers not the wacky people around them. Who cares about them?!
The movie introduces people who are not part of the genre as if they matter to the plot. They don't! It's supposed to be about the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, but there was too much talking among people about nothing. Granted, the transforming was cool, but it felt like it took forever for 1 Transformer to change.
At some point, I was looking at my watch to see how long it took Optimus Prime to go from truck to robot. In the cartoon, you heard the "transforming noise" and a few seconds later he was in another form. In this movie, I could leave for popcorn and come back to see him still transforming.
The view of the robots was so "busy" and cluttered, you couldn't recognize which robot was which. If a robot died, you couldn't tell who it was. In my opinion, I vote "no" on this movie because the hype on it is misleading...And the dialogue, who writes this stuff!...
