The first one was the best action film I've probably ever seen. The second one half way through the film should have just transformed into a 'Stop The Film Rolling' Machine

Rating: 1/10 (11 August 2009)

When Transformers came our I was completely in Awe - of everything - the humour, the fun, the slickness, The SFX, The Concept - everything! It really took Michael Bay as a director to a different league and Steven Spielberg's awesome attention to detail really put the icing on the cake.
As an owner of the film both on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, again unbelievable to watch many times over.
So I set myself up to go watch it at the IMax in Westminster and half way through the film I thought... "What the _ _ _ _ is going on? This cannot be happening. The trailer looked amazing. These guys cannot act. There is no humour and we're half way through the film. Sure the special effects are good but pointless. What's the story - What trash is this????" As you can imagine being over 2 and a half hours long, being disappointed half way through already meant the rest of the 2nd half was utter torture...I really wanted to walk out - really - but was with a whole group of friends so decided to play the polite game.
Absolute Nonsense. I had to go back home and put on Transformers Part 1 to remind myself how good that movie was...
What a potentially fantastic franchise killer! Kind of like Seeing Spiderman 3 after seeing the first 2. What is wrong with Hollywood and how can Steven Spielberg put his name to this??? Now its all about PROFIT than classy film making that would live forever.
$800m at the box office worldwide - insane - obviously the world is made up of more morons than intellectuals. But then again, in all fairness, I have to be counted in as one of those morons who sat through the film...albeit alongside millions of others thinking to ourselves - "CRAP FILM" :(
