Toilet explosion

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2009)

I have a hard time to count new Transformers as a movie. It was more a combination of explosions and toilet jokes (since any scene in this hmm, "project" ends with either one of them). And so highly praised action sequences after Wolverine, Star Trek and especially Terminator Salvation, Bay's work wasn't so much impressive. All transformers except Optimus Prime and the Yellow One(don't know his name) looked absolutely the same including the Worst Villain of the Year - The Fallen (forget the motivation, he couldn't even transform into anything but he had a BIG STICK instead and his loyal sidekick Megatron whose reasons to be in the "project" actually mysterious for me. Most of the human characters could be cut from "the movie" and it probably would be for good since it would be less toilet jokes. The dialogs could easily lost a competition to a school play. I mean each time character opened mouth to say something I had a strong urge to slap them to make them shut up. Another problem - the unbearable length of Transformers. 150 minutes. I could only wonder what Michael Bay cuted from his "movie" if he thought that the rest was OK. For example the last battle which lasted almost 40 minutes could easily be done in 10 , all college sequences could be easily cuted (another horrible half-hour). In the end it could be only 90 bearable minutes of explosions but unfortunately Spielberg gave his golem to much freedom and Bay simply didn't have enough taste, or objectivity or simply a common sense to see what he had done. Personally for me the most dramatic moment of the movie was a scene where an amazing actor John Turturro dropped his pants. Without any reason. For another silly laugh. Just because M.Bay can make him do it. It is actually my strongest impression which I've got from Transformers - Revenge of Fallen. Not robots, explosions or Megan Fox. It is A John Turturro staying on the street without pants. Michael Bay proved once again that he is still the Worst director in Hollywood today and his new work for me is #1 contender on the title THe Wors Movie of the Year. It is 1/10, 1/5 , it is 1 in any scale of grades I know...
