Great special effects...and that's about it!

Rating: 5/10 (25 July 2007)

I really loved the original Transformers series. I owned and still own a couple of transformer toys (such as: Soundwave, Optimus Prime, Cosmos, The Stunticons, etc.). I also used to have the "original" Megatron toy, but it got broken and I had to throw it away (pity...now it's priceless at E-Bay). I really hated the way Megatron looked and acted in this movie.
The good things about the movie: 1) The special effects; 2) I liked some of the comedy of the human characters; 3) ?????? No, I don't know of any more good things...sorry!
The bad things: 1) The story was so lame...they should really have taken more time in fleshing out the story! 2) Some cube that you can use to make robots out of almost anything that's made from metal and such...stupid s@&t! 3) The editing...who did this! It was unbelievably terrible! 4) Megatron and that little decepticon that transformed into a radio, later a cell phone. That little robot was one of the most annoying things I've ever seen on screen. Jar Jar Binks was even more likable and that's saying a lot! 5) I quit...my childhood sentiment is pretty much destroyed by this movie!
I had high hopes and doubts about this movie. The summer movie for which I had the least of hope was Die Hard 4.0, but it turned out to be the best one of the summer movies I've seen so far. The others I've seen are: Spiderman 3, POTC; At World's End, Die Hard 4.0 and Transformers. I hope Harry Potter is any good...nah, I already know it's gonna be a lot better than this piece of junk (as said by Luke Skywalker)!
I's a pity that they will probably make more Transformer movies!
