Transformers - a diagnose of the modern American society taste (or lack of)

Rating: 1/10 (28 August 2007)

Well, it isn't the "movie" itself which is bothering me. Mr Bay hasn't betrayed his usual bad way of film-making, or not making film at all. He certainly has no clue of directing and is the world's worst director of all times, putting Ed Wood deeply behind, but for no apparent reason is loved by Americans too. This is something I could not explain. What we have here is some ludicrous attempt backed with money and nothing else. Like some boy who was playing with so expensive toys Mr Bay has shown us he would do the same thing over and over again, just because someone down there gives green light for his movies. The flaws are so many I cant bear to count. The script is non existing. They could hire a schoolboy who would do better than current one. For those that yell "but this is only a remake of the animated cartoon series so what script goddamn it" I'll answer that even the bad movies around often have acceptable scripts. This is just a turkey. For 2 and a half long hours we are pressed to watch something that cant decide for itself what it wants to be - a cheap teen comedy with insulting jokes, sleazy romantic drama or parody in the end of the long run. Everything except what its pretending to be. The fact that imbecile movies like that one are given such high ratings (I kid you not, this one has greater ratings than The Godfather and The Deer Hunter!) is truly, madly, deeply beyond me. It says something for the American society as whole. It seems that so many people can go to something so low and cheap that it becomes nearly a tragedy. I am so happy of not sharing it.
What really bothers me (and surely pisses me off) is the fact this turd wrapped in toilet paper is so highly praised and received so great ratings here. What's wrong with you guys? No, I mean, seriously - are you all so easily amused? From such things as masturbation and pee jokes? Have you fallen so low that Marianas Trench is not deep enough for you? I keep asking these questions who might be never answered...
