Terrible commercial film

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2012)

Well? What can I say? That's a pretty awful film, though I still found it more tolerable than Tree of Life. Here at least we got some explosions and giant robots fighting (though I couldn't make much sense of it). There is no plot, however, or at least something resembling a plot: There are some robots that turn into cars and stuff and they fight and stuff and then, suddenly the film ends. The acting is terrible as well, which is expected, specially considering that the new pretty girlfriend of the main character was performed by a model and not a professional actress.
Michael Bay certainly is one of the most financially successful directors in Hollywood, being the best paid director in 2010, earning over 100 million dollars. However, it remains a mystery of how these transformers films have made nearly one billion dollars in box office. While the general public doesn't generally has the most refined taste for films, I still think that generally films that are successful in the box office tend to be decent. That was not the case here.
