Not the best film in the world

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2007)

Look, I was looking forward to this film, lots and lots. To a film nut movies like this are the meat on which we feast. I thought it could have been a lot better.
It was too long. It has a good pace but seems to wain towards the end. Michael Bay is not a great story director. He just likes blowing stuff up eg The Island which was going well till the middle when he realised that he hadn't blown anything up and then it was like he decided to make up for lost time and destroy everything that moved including the story. The fact that the only two women in it were hot as hell, im not complaining but it doesn't help the realism or gain the respect the film needed. The graphics were good but as with all big movies of late the graphic were wasted by the massively jerky and fast shots.
The morals were forced down your throat like a mother feeding their children vegetables. It was cringworty at some points. And the voice over at the start OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR.
Apart from that there were some good points. Shia LaBoeuf was excellent and the relationship with his parents was very well done. The acting as a whole was pretty good with the script they had. The effects (when shot properly) were very impressive. And Optimus Prime, HE THE MAN.
