Action packed -yes. good story telling- no =(

Rating: 2/10 (1 July 2007)

The truth is this film has little to do with the Transformers characters. It's a story about a BOY who befriends the girl of his dreams, and his car happens to be robot! The problem was Hollywood was too afraid to develop ROBOT characters, fearing the audience couldn't relate.
It's sad that so many million$$$ were spent and forget about the main characters... and when i say "main characters" i ASSUMED it would be the, I dunno, the "Transformers"???
The story had potential, but is lost.
The argument that fans are too attached and should accept 20yrs have past, has me wondering: "If you're not going to make a movie about the Transformers characters (20yrs old), why call the movie TRANSFORMERS?" It's like having a DaVinci exhibition, and only showing a Boeing 747.
Progress is fine, Bumblebee could've been the new VW Beetle, no??? If Megatron can't transform into a hand gun -explain the cube?
Spielberg, What happened? You used to make GOOD films. Don't tell me you needed the money? Crap movie, but a good exercise in marketing.
This is a brainless movie, sad to say.
