Great for the eyes, dull for the brain

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2012)

For the eyes, this film hits it on the spot with its high quality CGI and convincing almost real looking battle scenes between the now well known transformer auto bots. The scenes of huge explosions and mind blowing action scenes will leave you on the edge of your seat. However, like previous films the storyline is weak, and this time Imean REALLY weak. Although in someways believable, the storyline has so many plot holes that leave you thinking "why did he not do that earlier?" and moments like "come on, kill him already!". This would be great for the younger audience but is almost belittling the older audiences to this film. The actors also lack some of the most basic acting skills. Carly (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) lacks one of the most basic needs of an actor. Emotion. Her performances are completely dull, her face couldn't look more boring. Of course the casters only wanted her for her "outstanding" good looks, but you'll soon become fed up of her scenes which lack any depth and any sense of realism. This includes the many incredibly cheesy love scenes between Sam and Carly where there "loving" relationship which is portrayed in all of the stereotypical ways you would expect to see, but acted so incredibly badly.
Overall, this film is great for its CGI, but if your IQ is higher than 12, this is not a film to be taken seriously.
