Senseless Dizzying Action

Rating: 4/10 (19 June 2009)

After the huge hype generated by the media, mostly due to Megan Fox, this film ceases to fulfil the expectations of most viewers. The audience left the cinema murmuring about what actually happened and the different ways it should have ended. It was surprisingly anti-climatic, especially after the huge build up during the film. It is filled with senseless dizzying action, that were very hard to follow due to the fact that it was transformers fighting, so the clash of mechanical imagery was confusing at best. The film was flooded with a downpour of debris, bombs and random bits of robots flying all over the place. Spectacular action but it does get tiresome, especially in a 2 1/2 hour film.. The film had quite a lot funny and witty moments, but even this was overdone with its repetitiveness. What made it worse was the cliché characters that continuously made me cringe. As a guy, the best bit about the film was Megan Fox. She is a stunningly beautiful actress and has definitely upped her performance from the first instalment. However, the writers chose to make her simply the eye- candy of the film, rather than something more worthwhile. Shia LaBeouf was amusing to say the least. I'm not sure how much acting he had to do to pull off the awe-filled eyes every time he had a scene with Megan Fox :) Lucky guy.. So if you want simple.. confusing.. fun.. senseless.. action (with hottie Megan Fox) this movie is for you. If you're expecting a more well-rounded plot with surprisingly clever twists, well.. that's not happening.
