horrible

Rating: 1/10 (30 January 2011)

Let me start off with this. I loved Transformers as a kid and I love a fun, mindless action movie (like Crank or Die Hard) This is one of the most overrated films ever made. The special effects look pretty good, but the action is poor, the acting is awful, the story is bland, and the humor is irritating.
OK, so the logic holes are Gigantic. For example, Bernie Mac plays a car salesman who Sam (Shia Labeouf) tries to buy a car from. One of the cars is bumblebee. Bumblebee (somehow) blows up the windows of every other car. Sam takes Bumblebee home and neither he or his father question what the hell just happened.
Megan Fox is hot, but she's a terrible actress. John Tutorro is great, but he's really chewing up the scenery here. Josh Duhemal and Tyrese Gibson aren't given much to do. Shia Labeouf is so-so.
But we don't care about that stuff right? I mean this is an action movie. Too bad that there are barely any robot fights in a film called transformers. For instance, in one scene Shia Labeouf and Megan fox are running away from a decepticon. Bumblebee starts fighting it, but instead of focusing on Bumblebee fighting, we focus on those stupid teenagers running. Screw That. I wanna see robots fight. This film is more about the humans than the transformers.
When the robot fights do happen, it's pretty poorly filmed and none of the fights are terribly engaging.
We don't even meet Megatron for like 90 minutes and we don't meet optimus for like an hour. Lame. I don't care about a couple of stupid teenagers and their car.
And the whole plot revolves around Ebay? That's a real cool idea for an action movie. ugh.
And the "humor" is awful. The only funny scene in the whole movie was the doughnut joke. Everything else was just stupid.
If you truly are a Transformers fan, don't waste your time. This film sucks
