What do you expect from a Michael Bay Film?

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2009)

I find it very amusing reading all these horrible reviews for this movie..I should point out a few important things that should cover any critique for this film
1. It was Directed by Michael Bay 2. It is a Michael Bay sequel 3. It was co-produced by Steven Spielberg(please go watch the 4th Indiana Jones movie for more reference.)
so if you enjoy watching mind numbing, relentless action with tons of explosions, insane effects and CGI characters than this movie is quite entertaining...those looking for something more than that, look elsewhere cos you will be very disappointed.
people going to see this film expecting to see something great are complete morons. really. I went to see this film with low expectations expecting to see nothing but hardcore action, explosions every 5 minutes and insane Transformer battles and that is what I got so I can't say I was really too disappointed after seeing the movie...
sure the people who have given this movie poor reviews made good points about many things about this film but uh....need I bring up those 3 points I made at the beginning of this review?
bottom line is you ain't gonna get much from a Michael Bay film expect intense action and explosions with more explosions.
visually the movie was extremely entertaining...yeah in some of the battles so much action was happening up so close you couldn't tell what was going on..but otherwise all the scenes with the Transformers fighting each other and the Decepticons annihilating everything was pretty sweet..and the designs for the new Decepticons *hnnng* the Decepticon in the Shanghai scene, Soundwave, and Devastator were awesome as were the rest...
I guess my biggest critiques would revolve around the Transformers themselves which would be that, because so much story and action was crammed into this movie and time was wasted on scenes that didn't need to be so long..further character development for the Autobots was left out..the other Autobots seemed to be pushed away and didn't get much screen time at all..it seemed like they were in car form more than anything else..also it needed moar Bumblebee..there really wasn't any more chara development for him, and he still couldn't talk..since he was plastered all over the movie posters one would think he'd get a big role in this movie but he didn't...I think the Autobots that got the most attention where the ghetto black gangster twin Autobots who just got really annoying after a while....and then when Optimus Prime was finally resurrected and got his upgrades from the Irish turned good Decepticon I expected to see a epic final battle but all this happened at the very end of the movie so the battle only lasted like 5 minutes with Megatron and Starscream quickly pussying out and then the Fallen getting pwned by Optimus Prime in 2 minutes..it could have been a little longer..I mean the Fallen hardly got in on the action at all.. 95% of the movie he was incapacitated in Decepticon planet, and then he did his lil broadcast to the world and then at the very end of the movie came outta nowhere to try and launch his sun destroyer weapon and finally fight Optimus Prime..I think he deserved something more I mean his name is in the freaking title of the movie lol. I did enjoy the relationship between Megatron and Starscream tho.
so yeah i'll stop there...apparently there is going to be a third movie who knows what the hell Michael Bay will do with that one most likely triple the action and explosions..
I gave this movie 7/10 because of my fulfilled expectations for this movie..not based on some credible, expert critique/judgment that SHOULD be given to this movie as a whole or however you wanna put it.
don't get me wrong it would be great to see this series be as good as other films based on books/comics like the newest Batman movies or the LOTR series but with Michael Bay behind the wheel your not gonna get anything like that sorry to say. :/
