Another turd from the Hollywood crap factory

Rating: 1/10 (20 July 2009)

I never believed all the bad hype around Michael Bay until I saw this movie. Bad Boys 2 is one of my all time favorites (and his best), and that made it hard for me to turn on the guy. But this movie was a TRAINWRECK. WTF, seriously. I don't even know where to begin. I would like to meet the people that greenlit that script. Did they just skim it for keywords like: robots, fight, naked, fight, more robots, fight. What has happened to my beloved childhood cartoon from the 80's? I could go ON and ON and ON and ONNNNN about why this movie sucked, but I have to be at work on Monday so I can't take that much time.
Look the first Transformers was a cool flick. And I could appreciate how tough the task was for a director to formulate a story about robots that turn into cars and trucks, but he did a good job. There were pros/cons, but overall I gave it a 8/10. So I figured learn what worked and didn't work from the first movie, and head in that direction. ROTF was one step forward, five steps back.
Conclusion: RENT ON Blu-Ray/DVD Was NOT worth going to the theater, and it will not be worth paying money to own. But if you (like me) are absolutely compelled to see the movie, then rent it.
