NO, NO, NO..... Missed the target.

Rating: 2/10 (8 September 2007)

Well, to be honest, I have finally completed my list of Worst Movies Ever - and this one is definitely number one.
My life has changed thanks to Transformers - now i understand that Power Rangers had GOOD special effects, Anakonda was a GREAT movie, Tom Cruise is an IMPRESSIVE actor and average Brazilian soap opera have FASCINATING plot.
But let's put jokes aside. What I consider to be the main problem of the movie is that it doesn't seem to meet any target audience - at least if we divide the audience by age. The plot may be convincing for kids under 13-year old, but several elements are too 'hard' for kids (language, violence, even though it's moderate). So, with PG-13 rating, who was it made for? I guess the answer came from the audience which I met in the cinema - fully armed with popcorn, tacos and active mobiles. Audience which burst into laughter because of "black-man-with-funny-voice" or "agent-gets-undressed" scenes. The audience which doesn't have any problem with traditional "nerd-gets-a-bully's-girl-because-he-gets-involved-in-something" plot.
As for the famed special effects - I'm not very up-to-date with computer games, but as far as I remember, I've seen more impressive things in game cut-scenes a few years ago. At least they didn't use machine-gun editing, random camera shaking and hundreds of little elements of steel and concrete flying around to hide the most important part of CGI. How many times did we actually have a chance to see a full robot and its animation? I'm disappointed. I hope Dreamworks has already started lawsuits against the company which made CGI. I hope the writers who decided to connect hundreds of unimportant subplots, empty dialog lines and flat characters have been punished.
Ah, I give the movie 2 instead of 1 for ONE SCENE: Megatron hitting a random human on the ground, saying "Disgusting"...
Yes. Disgusting.
