How is it possible that this film is liked?

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2008)

Where to begin with what's wrong with this movie? For starters, the plot makes absolutely no sense. In order to somehow stay true to the original cartoon, the "cube" concept needed to be introduced but the way this linkage was done made absolutely no sense (put the cube into my chest!)...
The characters were hollow, and the protagonist was whiny and annoying. The romance between him and the female lead was completely unconvincing. The movie was filled with toilet humor. There are multiple sequences which were indistinguishable from adverts; either for Ford or for armed forces recruiting. I get enough of that on television - I have no desire to see it in film as well. At least on TV I can change the channel during the commercials.
All in all yet more evidence that the quality of films being made in the US is going downhill and that Michael Bey couldn't make a good movie to save his life.
