Leading Lady

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2011)

I give this movie seven out of ten stars, which is a little higher than I really thought it deserved only because of how well portrayed and right on the money the leading lady was. This wasn't the typical Transformer film where the leading lady is supposedly this bad ass chick but all they seem to do is play up on her sex appeal. In the first film they make it a point to tell us about Mikaela's juvy record and we see her driving a tow truck all the while scantly clad and unsmugged lipstick. This leading lady was the damsel in distress who was extremely beautiful but they did not make a point to tell you that at every turn. It didn't seem realistic at one point in particular where the damsel in distress plays up on the human hating decepticons insecurity and need for power and walked away unharmed. At first I was like ugh really a victoria's secret model as the leading lady I guess acting isn't what this movie will be about, however Rosie Huntington-Whitely is a decent actress already and may be a force once she is seasoned.
