Almost as bad as Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2011)

If all you want from the movie is action and special effects, I guess I could raise the rating on this review to 3-4 stars. But I felt so compelled to write this review because the movie was so bad in many ways. I mean really bad. As bad as the most bad movie in the world.. "Street Fighter: Chun Li"
#1) Shia La Buff just was awful. Are we to believe someone who's saved the world twice can't find a great job? I've gone to a crappy college and I can do a better job of finding employment than this character. I guess I just need to suspend belief.
#2) Again, Sam has been awarded by the president twice for his heroic efforts in the previous transformer movies, but constantly throughout the movie nobody within the US defense dept will listen to him. Hey, he even has trouble contacting just the transformers. Again... suspend disbelief.
#3) For some reason they tried creating a relationship between the new blond lady and Sam. I can see why Megan Fox didn't want to be in this movie. There was no reason to make this movie about Sam and his girlfriend. The girlfriend was a waste of time as was having sam's parents in the movie.
#4) How is teleporting cybertron to the planet earth going to save cybertron? As written by another reviewer, it seemed like Sentinel's plan was to destroy both planets by teleporting the planet right next door.
#5) Robots killing robots. For a race that's supposedly becoming extinct, this Optimus Prime has no qualms killing people of his own race. Heck... its a robot destruction fest. When growing up watching transformers,.... what i liked about watching the cartoon was that Optimus Prime always did the right thing. Optimus prime in this movie series is pretty cold and heartless. He was killing decepticons left and right...laying down the autobot justice.
#6) Sam and Company somehow survive a falling building to save the world. Yes, again... it does look somewhat cool to have people flying within a crashing building but.... how the heck were they supposed to survive the crash.
#7) I need to watch the movie again, but did the two scrawny good robots really destroy the huge mother decepticon ship? WTH?... pull some cables on a ship and BAM... falling enemy ship. They pretty much save the most important transformers. REALLY?
I could go on and on about how this movie forced me to have to suspend disbelief in order to sort of enjoy the movie. I'm just glad I didn't have to spend any of my hard earned money to watch this craptacular movie.
