Transformers is definitely aimed at the kiddies and I feel sorry for them. Their young ears are going to be blown out by the obnoxious volume of this film. Their eyes are going to be blinded by the obnoxious explosions. Transformers is just a very expensive cartoon.
For the teens, there are Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox as the next Bogart and Bacall. Actually, they are the next pair of 20 year olds playing 13 year olds. Their "steamy" sex scene is when LaBeouf gets Fox to sit on his lap in a car. Being a PG13 film, nothing can happen, of course.
A lot has been written about how cool the transformers look. Big deal. Just because someone has fond memories of playing with transformers as a child doesn't excuse the fact that this is a terribly inept movie.
Directed by master hack Michael Bay who directs by throwing in as many explosions as he can and padding content that would be interesting for 5 minutes into a 144 minute explosion extravaganza.
For those with time they don't want to waste, watch 20 minutes of this garbage and call it good. It doesn't get any better.
A total waste of time.
