Tedious Transformers action

Rating: 3/10 (26 June 2009)

First off, let me start off by saying, I had high expectations for this movie, but sadly i was very disappointed. With a great cast, state of the art special effects and animation, all topped off with a $200 million budget, you'd expect a grandeur summer thrill ride at the cinema.
But all you really is get is a tedious, dumb action movie with weak delivery in these key elements- Comic relief, tension, emotion, and set up. throughout the entire movie maybe about 3 out of 30 jokes actually get a laugh out of you. The tension of fearing the death of a character during an action sequence isn't there. The emotion that Mikaela try's to show for Sam isn't believable.
Now the biggest complaint. As you can well imagine 2 1/2 hours of Micheal bay's mindless pyrotechnics can get a bit tiresome. Throughout the entire film nothing is set up to intensify fight scene or even switched up a little bit, it's all Shoot and bomb the big a** robots. My advice to Micheal bay, sit down and think before you make a movie. Please!
