Worst movie this year...so far

Rating: 1/10 (25 June 2009)

What is going on with movies? What happened to movies with a story, that created suspense, that had action and adventure that was fun? I love a good Hollywood blockbuster but thanks to overuse of computer generated effects, clichés, mindless scripts, clichés, paper thin characters, clichés...well it's gotten boring and predictable beyond a joke. I was praying for this movie to end. The transformers are not fun, they're not even cartoonish, they're just stupid. I did not care for any of these characters. The only one that came close was John Turturro's, at least he was funny. And the use of slow motion action just prolonged the agony. I wanted the terminators to enter and wipe them all out. At least wipe out the parents, surely there was enough bullet fire to get Shia's mum in the forehead, she should have been the first to go. The action scenes are not enjoyable as you can't see what is going on as the lens was not wide enough. Just a mish-mash of computer generated robot body parts filling the screen with ample sound effects. Please Mr Hollywood, make movies that are great again and stop this pointless dribble. Sadly we learnt last year that you can't revisit the great days of Indiana Jones because of stupid stories and pointless plots, and now they're talking Indy 5 ... noooooooooooooooo! Okay, I'm ready for the abuse from fans now.
