Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY BAD

Rating: 2/10 (7 July 2007)

This movie looked so good in the trailers. It had to look good on paper too. All they had to do was stick to their original concept and this would have been (at least) a good movie.
Instead, halfway through the making of this movie, it seems, somebody decided to make it a kids movie. I'm guessing some marketing dude saw the dailies and screamed: "IT'S TOO VIOLENT!! WE'LL NEVER SELL ANY PRODUCT WITH THIS MOVIE!!" Insert cheesy dialogue. Insert circumcised plot. Insert "kids' movie" action.
Yes, the special effects were amazing. It's SKG. Of course the special effects are going to be awesome.
If you go see this movie, just soak up as much of Megan Fox as you can. She's about the only reason to go see it. You won't be engaged in the plot, since there really isn't one (I DEFY YOU to figure out what the movie is about at the 1.5 hour mark).
The Transformers talking to each other goes from absurd to sublime -- and then to comical. The cheesy dialogue will have you laughing out loud.
Also, the 900 subplots (ala Spiderman 3) will wondering what in the hell is happening at any one moment in the movie.
Skip this one. Rent it. Better yet, have a friend rent it and borrow it.
