cinematic junkyard

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2007)

So what's wrong with Transformers?... An easier question is what isn't wrong with Transformers. Let's see Shia Labeouf's performance is wonderfully appealing and he's starting to look more attractive. Megan Fox is pretty to look at. And the spfx are good the first time they happen. That's about it. Now what's wrong with it. I'm not a fan of the cartoon nor have I watched therefore I can not speak for that group of people. No story. Loud. Obnoxious. Dumb. Directionless. Boring. Bad Acting. Bad cinematography. Bad casting. Actually reduces your brain capacity after watching. Very little entertainment value. Painfully repetitive. Yep well that's about it. Transformers certainly isn't the worst film I've seen but it's definitely one of the worst. It's dreadfully loud and obnoxious. I left with a horrible headache and found the movie to be painfully stupid. I didn't really understand what was going on and really couldn't see anything because of the chaotic Blair Witch style cinematography. Except for those now ridiculous Michael Bay slow motion shots and pan outs. This is quite possibly the dorkiest film ever made and you have any bit of coolness to you, you'll run for the exits. Transformers is a cinematic junkyard...
