So different,

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2009)

To see the Transformers not in cartoon motion is so different, especially if you are a big fan of the classic ones. In the last part, it was good to see the new detailed versions of the transformers, although it was off the track from the classics, but it was descent and a good movie.
The new part however is so different, it feels like the new series is going to be ruined, and won't last more than another movie (if it survived). One of the most disappointing things is the lack of transformers original character's behavior, it is becoming so American with many "funny" comments, especially for the Autobots, which is so different from the original characters and not good at all.
As for the action, it is a good thing to have too many action, but the big problem is that you will not know who's with who! And there is a specific scene near the end where you will get totally confused, there are too many characters, many of them didn't appear in the classics, and so you have no clue who they are, and you won't know what's happening and what's the role of every character even when the fight is over!
The human involvement is one of the biggest holes in the new sequel; it is supposed to be a robot war, with no involvement of humans, in the first movie it was OK, but in this one, it is not OK at all. The spotlight is for the very most of time on the human characters and their lives, to the point that makes you feel you're watching a "human" movie with a "robotic" involvement!
Imagine the old series to be done in present days with the new graphics achievements, and maybe adding some very little human involvement to spice it up, would't that be wonderful? I really hope writers, producers, and directors start thinking about what people really wants not what they see people want.
Conclusion; go watch the movie, it's worth to be seen, but don't watch like a classic transformer fan, just as an action movie fan 7/10 for an action movie 4/10 for a transformer movie
