A Hollywood joke !

Rating: 3/10 (29 June 2011)

So i read an article a couple of months ago about how Micheal Bay and Spielberg worked on improving this new movie over the atrocious film that was Revenge of the fallen. And while i have noticed some improvements over the sequel, this one still fell short from becoming a good movie in my eyes.
So many wrong things about this movie that i don't know where to start, probably, the most thing that annoyed me, was the silly and lame humor. very silly and unrealistic characters that don't seem to take the events surrounding them seriously, especially Turturro's and Malkovic's characters, such jokes !! i don't get why someone like Malkovic agrees to do a character like that ?! And what about the embarrassing Ken Jeong ?! involved in a disaster scene that was meant to be funny !!!
Then comes the typical cliché characters in the American military, all pumped up and Rambo like macho men with big huge guns and gear running around and kicking A** !! lame !!
the Robots themselves are ridiculous with their multi English accents, some speak American accents while other speak Irish and British ! what is up with that ?
So here, Sam has left his old connections with the Autobots and is starting a new life looking for a job, yet he still has two robot pets, that i have no idea why they are there with him ? and as expected they are clumsy and always goofing around him for no clear reason ?!
No more Megan Fox, but now she is replaced with another hot model like actress, who's character is still annoying, was just casted here to be constantly saved by our hero. there was supposed to be a passionate drama like relationship between her and Sam, which was totally unrealistic and lacked in depth. She was hot undeniably, but why ? do we have to ingrain this hot image in our growing generations ? that this is what every guy should have and that this is what every girl should look like ?!?! another cheap Hollywood image that i wished they would have avoided in this film. sad !!
Too long, too much unnecessary scenes that could have been easily cut out, the whole Sam struggling with his family issues have been done before and grown old.
the Visuals and sound effects, however, were stunning, i really can't deny that, and i only saw this in 2D, people seem to like the 3D and highly praise it. definitely, very enjoyable visuals, and some of the action scenes were very brilliantly executed, but even the action lacked in certain areas and did seem unrealistic.
Spoiler >> so when Sam is hanging by one arm to one of the Decepticans, there was so much big and violent movements and he was dragged around like a feather, yet his arm did not get broken or his shoulder dislocated, seriously ?!
So to summarize, this was another Hollywood joke, lots of emphasis on visuals, which were brilliant, but no depth and no heart to it. but I'm pretty sure, a lot of people will be taken by the visuals and will think that this was the best movie ever made, the younger audience " including my 7 years old son who actually liked this ", and it will make big bucks, but with no heart.
