Too dumb, even for a dumb action movie.

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2013)

Its a badly written, badly acted, awful incoherent mess, which jarringly shifts tone every 5 minutes - the "funny" moments are childish, yet the language is too rough for children, its as if it was written by a 12 year old who thought adding swear words would make it more grown up.
It also heavily panders to an American audience with clumsy over the top patriotism. It felt like a parody of Team America with Autobots acting as a hit squad for the United States, sorting out those pesky people in the middle east. Never mind the way they crowbar in Buzz Aldrin and the Apollo 11 mission.
Lastly there is the portrayal of women in the movie - they are treated either as a sex object (with lecherous camera work ensuring a good view of tits and ass), or as an overbearing/nagging annoyance.
I went into this just wanting to watch a dumb action movie, the trouble is that this is dumb to such a spectacular degree you probably wont be able to enjoy the action sequences - a bit like trying to enjoy an ice-cream after eating a bag of moldy onions.
