Megan Fox is pretty hot, thanks to her the film gets 1 star

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2007)

I don't hate Michael Bay, or Spielberg, or any of the money hungry ignorant contributers to this film. I do however resent being made physically ill. The acting, the script, and especially the music... it all made me feel violated in some way. Imagine throwing up blood in the shower, that's where this film takes you, it's a special place.
It's poor at best. I went to the cinema expecting the worst, in hope that i wouldn't hate it as much after I'd seen it. The truth is, it's really, really, really, really, bad. An insult to anything cool, cultural, imaginative and honest. I am extremely disappointed that the original concept, story and characters were butchered with total disregard, but putting that aside (and i really tried), it is a genuinely bad film.
Don't watch it. The people giving this film a positive review must like really shiny things, poorly timed and arranged music that doesn't fit the images, and thin plots riddled with faults. Action films are fine, this is a cringing attempt at a Disney-esquire, teen romance, sci-fi flick that fails everywhere. The 5 year old in front of me seemed to enjoy it, but maybe he likes shiny things too.
By the way, Optimus Prime is the hero, not some kid called Sam.
