not what its cracked up to be

Rating: 4/10 (29 June 2011)

yes the explosions are. but thats all that makes the movie... the plot is very dull and there is not much that makes it good than the epic giant robot battles throughout. the problem though, is the movies clichés and predictability. an example: dull point in the movie, theater is dead quiet... i turn to my friend and say "boom" whats next? BOOM! overall it was a good action film, but looking at the movie as a whole, it doesn't matter. the plot was there but didn't seem to fit well throughout. overall though, i've seen better, and i've seen worse... but still. everyone said it would be the best movie of the summer, i disagree. besides, there is a song that says "cool guys don't look at explosions" well, if you don't look at explosions, you get grade A crap. thats all the non action was... plain and simple.
