Michael Bay. All action... No story.

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2009)

I'm not a big fan of Michael Bay at all. He seems to concentrate more on the action of the movie and less about story and character development. That might be good for some of you, but for the rest of us... Transformers 2 was Michael Bay at his best. All action and no story or character development. I must admit, I loved the first film and thought to myself, wow, maybe Mr. Bay is beginning to grow up. Nope. I was wrong. He butchered the Transformers franchise. The autobots that were in the first film really never had any kind of character development in this film. Most of the film they were missing. The movie was too long. A lot of the going to college scenes could have been cut out. They were irrelevant to the story. The fight scenes between the transformers were hard to follow because most of them were the same colors. Prime and Bumblebee were my favorites. A plus to the movie was the effects. They were great and really deserve to be nominated for an Oscar. You can tell they put a lot of effort into them. The beginning of the film was better then the second half. Still, go see the film. It's worth a watch. Just go to the bathroom before you see it. I made that mistake.
