Yet another high-fund/low fun, CGI circus that's unable to hold attention, or add plot.

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2009)

There are so many things wrong with Transformers: RotF. Let me begin in a top-ten list format to quickly express my gripes: 1.First, the movie was too long, clocking in at 150min: Basically depending on how far you commute to your local theater, you are wasting an estimated +3hr on this mediocre, brainless summer flick.
2.Second the plot, or lack thereof: Yes there was a plot and yes it was BARELY enough to keep this fireworks show of silly action scenes moving forward. The movie is all mindless action, no character interaction or simple character building. Only what is necessary to move the action scenes forward.
3.Excessive Product placement anyone? Are transformers limited to GM products only? Why did we need to hear that Sam's parents are insured by Allstate? 4. Once the first Transformers was announced, EVERYONE suddenly expressed they were Die-hard Transformers fans and that they had been fans since a very young age, much like when superman,spider-man,xmen, hell-boy,fantastic 4, and both In.Hulks were announced: they are probably lying and are failing at pretending they are "cool" 5. Most die hard Transformers fans, like myself, hate this movie. However most people looking for a simple action movie DID enjoy it.
6.Megan Fox-Very attractive don't get me wrong, but she couldn't act herself out of an episode of Blue's Clues. Ill sacrifice a nice pair of legs and pretty face for an actress that can do other things then bend over in front of the camera.
7.Why did Dreamworks approve a second Transformers? Because the simple fact that: it makes bank. The movie is mindless spending and random effects and explosions trying to shield a bad script and bad plot.
8.The non-funny "unneeded" transformers: They are not funny, nor did they contribute to the story progression whatsoever.
9.CGI: The action scenes are too detailed and hectic for the average human to fully appreciate in one viewing, thus most action scenes are "too" gorgeous, and I say that meaning that the illusion that the movie aims to create with CGI is way overdone, and it feels like you are playing a really detailed computer game rather than the adrenaline filled film it could have been.
10. The under use of Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson. It seems to me that these two were put in the movie ONLY to boast about, and NOT to have any significant role in the progression of the film. The movie changes NONE if Tyrese had not been in it, heck all he says is a smart comment like "we're about to get our asses whooped!" or the movie changing quote of "that guy is an asshole!". You really should wonder if those making this movie are insulting your intelligence?
