Worst director ever

Rating: 1/10 (26 October 2007)

I went into this movie expecting mindless action and cool looking robots, and was very disappointed. Forget that it had almost no story, and the story it did have was lame. Forget that it was basically a two-hour commercial for the army. The bottom line is that this was the worst looking 150 million dollar movie I have ever seen. It looked like a bunch of actors in front of a blue screen pretending to interact with extremely cartoonish-looking robots.
And what was that garbage about how most of the transformers almost never spoke? It was like they couldn't be bothered to write dialogue, so they made the robots mostly mute, and tried to fill time with lame sub-plots like the army guy trying to get home to see his daughter. Seriously, any jerk can try to pull you in with cheap sentimentality, but it is pretty obvious that Michael Bay couldn't make a movie with anything resembling real emotion or dialogue if his life depended on it. With this movie, Bay has solidified his position as the worst director of our generation. I would rather watch two hours of security camera footage of a garbage dump that watch this movie again.
