Overall an unimpressive movie

Rating: 4/10 (3 July 2011)

I should start off by saying that I was never a fan of Michael Bay's Transformers. And after seeing this movie, I'm still not. To me, the movie is an overall failure as a piece of entertainment. I found the characters to be thoroughly uninteresting, especially Shia LeBeouf's character. He is still the annoying person that tries to play off as a courageous hero in the story. Co-star Rosie Huntington-Whitely plays a almost non-existent role except for just being the pretty face on the screen. Michael Bay still creates initially serious scenes that later become riddled with lame jokes and crude humor with the help of the little robots that serve as nothing more than a poor excuse for comic relief.
The plot is filled with holes and a little hard to follow but none of that matters because everyone goes to the theaters for the action! That is the one thing the movie does well. Stunning, computer-generated, robot-mashing, action.
Of course, this is just my opinion and everyone seems to have their own. I generally dislike this movie because the characters lack depth and the plot development was clearly not a point of focus when the script was written.
