It is just so much fancy screwing gum for the eyes with a bit of comedy thrown in...

Rating: 3/10 (16 July 2007)

I can just imagine all these over paid, self important movie producer people sitting around a table 'musing' about what should be in the film 'Transformers' that would make it a 'box office hit'...That in itself would probably make a great comedy. Or maybe they knew it was an assured hit so they just put a load of monkeys in a room with a type writer... The people behind this film had no regard for the depth of the original Transformers story and were seemingly ignorant of it. This film is only worthy of being called Transformers in the most shallow sense.
You really know a movie is bad when a TV advert for a fairly bland looking family hatchback car makes a more convincing looking transformer than the movie did...One that you could actually tell it was a car, after it transformed. AND, even though the 'transformer' in the advert was just a plain old family car it still managed to come off as way cooler and much more authentic... Maybe the team behind that advert should have been given the job of doing the CGI on this film?
It seems that you can slap a big name on a movie like 'Transformers' or 'Aliens vs Predator' or 'Star wars' but then make it so bad that it does a good job of ruining the credibility of the franchise which was originally great...But it is OK, the people behind it have made so much money from basically screwing the movie going public that they don't care what you think...Sigh
The movie industry wonders why sales are down and people don't go to the cinema any more...Are they really that blind? I can fully understand why people would download a pirated version of piece of cr*p films like this rather than pay £6 to see it in the cinema...They just aren't worth paying for... It is just so much fancy screwing gum for the eyes with a bit of comedy thrown in....'Transformers' meets 'fast and furious' meets 'american pie'....Morons....Box office hit? Box office sh*t more like...
