This movie is more "cool" than good

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2007)

I saw Transformers yesterday and I didn't expect much. For starters I'm not fond of Michael Bays movies. Technically this movie is very well made, the special effects, sound and the photo (typical high budget action photo) slow motion faded music closeups. The thing about this movie that bothers me the most are all the silly one-liners and comic reliefs, and apparently most of the audience that saw the movie liked it. They laughed when they were suppose to laugh. And as an old Transformers fan i really missed the old characteristics of the robots. Basically Optimus and Bumblebee were the only bots that you could recognize. This movie is more "cool" than good. I'm looking forward to the sequel and I hope it will be directed by someone else than Bay, I would prefer Cameron.
