Unoriginal Eye Candy

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2009)

The special effects for Transformers were over the top. The plot was unoriginal and a bit overshadowed by the constant action.
Megan Fox is portrayed as possibly the most absolute sex object I have ever encountered in a movie. There isn't a single scene she is in where she is not portrayed as a sex object. She doesn't actually act. She just poses. I don't think the effects people were even satisfied with her natural charms. I am pretty sure they enhanced her using the same effects they used to simulate robots and explosions. Her lips are absolutely dripping wet all through the movie—like they added a coat of Vaseline between each shot. In all fairness, the target audience is adolescent males, so I have to cut them some slack.
