Michael Bay and company should be sued for this disaster

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 2011)

If you are a Transformers fan and haven't seen this movie yet you can consider yourself lucky because the title of the movie is misleading. The movie is NOT ABOUT the transformers, it's about the stupid, useless human beings. Michael Bay has achieved the rare distinction of taking a high-potential franchisee about robots and successfully changing the main characters to humans throwing the Autobots and Decepticons somewhere in the background. I will list some of the disappointments I had:
1. The movie has no soul whatsoever. It's like Michael Bay taking revenge against every Transformers fan who criticized the 2nd part.
2. Only blowing up cars and lots of noise doesn't constitute a Transformers movie. There has to be a story.
3. Megan Fox should have been there. Because it was stupid without her. Rosie's role was written around Megan's but since they were two different people it didn't make sense. Also falling from buildings and escaping from bullets will leave at least a dust particle on her face wouldn't it? Why did it always look as if she had just taken a bath?
4. The stupid human characters are the main heroes and villains. John Turturro, Josh Duhamel and Alan Tudyk have been given undue importance. Shia had to prove he was a hero so the whole movie he keeps on fighting (and defeating) Decepticons who were strong enough to capture the Autobots. Even Rosie had to rise above the eye candy tag. So she was given the most important role in the end. Fox would be laughing.
5. Now for all these super humans we needed a human bad guy too right? So here comes in Patrick Dempsey. So unnecessary it's difficult to express in words.
6. Bay has made this movie like any other Hollywood Alien invasion film along with the 'American Spirit' part. This was supposed to be a Transformers movie. I can't figure out why they have done this.
7. The humour is juvenile. When will Hollywood let go of ' the two men coming out from the same toilet booth' scene?
On the positive side, technically the movie is sound. The 3D effects are amazing, although the slowed effects at times are kind of irritating. This movie was a disgrace to the Transformers franchisee.
I am utterly disappointed. All that hope of a movie as good as the first was in vain. Remove the visual effects – this movie doesn't deserve more than 3/10.
