What a disaster...

Rating: 5/10 (1 August 2007)

Seriously, I wasn't expecting much of Transformers. When I saw the teaser trailer for this I thought it was going to be a "War of the Worlds" like movie. After seeing the theatrical trailer I thought that it wouldn't be that serious but was still gonna be a cool action movie.
First, Michael Bay. I couldn't understand why people hated that guy that much, now I do. His direction was the worst thing of the movie. The action sequence were... well, lets just say everything exploded and bullets and cars were flying everywhere. And I couldn't understand what the hell was going on. When Optimus Prime started talking I lost my hopes for this movie. Yes, the special effects, and the sound were excellent. But Michael Bay screw that up by showing stuff that were practically like "Very nice, but I think I have already seen this, can we continue?" The story was stupid, it had no sense at all. Now, enough for the bad stuff. About the rest of the movie. It was very, very funny to watch. Until the autobots and the decepticons were introduced. I like the middle of the movie, but I dislike the beginning a bit and specially the end. The acting was OK, but wasn't superb. Shi LaBeouf and John Voight were pretty good. And I laughed a lot with them. As I said before the special effects are amazing but the action sequences were not captured very well and there were many dull times.
Overall I thought it was OK, but it wasn't that good as everyone was saying...
6/10
