Self indulgent with zero substance ... sound familiar?

Rating: 2/10 (29 August 2008)

When a magician repeats his repertoire through out their entire career, no matter how flashy it is, it gets old fast. Michael Bay is he cinema equivalent. Visually impressive? That's just a cover up to disguise his inability to engage a satisfactory story arc/line in any of his films. Ever notice whenever the dialogue (if there are any) runs dry there's always a spectacular explosion or two to distract the audience? The poor acting and the unbelievable sub-par script have been additionally littered with awkward not-at-all-funny comedic moments and the strangely frequent misplaced sexual connotations. The scene jumps from here to there without any coherence and the whole film structurally is one big mess. I kid you not, if you have the intelligence to look past the glitz and candy (applies to another Bay film for that matter), you'll find it's just one big nothing of a waste of a reel.
