Effects just can't carry a movie anymore!

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2009)

The first Transformers was as all "first" are, was amazing purely for the transformation scenes...the script and immature comedic scenes just don't work for me. This one however, adds more idiotic comedic scenes with the parents and a plot that is disconnected and worst of all I hate to say, since Michael Bay directed this should have asked the camera folks to pan back a lot...the transformation scenes were so close you could not see the full effect, the quality was very poor and that was the best part. The parts that were edited should have remained and a lot of the parts that were in the movie were not needed...I got tired of seeing Ms. Tennessee Megan Fox puff up her lips and do all the things she thinks the guys are looking for in this movie, its called "suggestive direction". Any way I did remember that Shia hurt his hand while making the movie and miraculously I found Waldo from one scene with a good hand to the next scene a bandaged hand, talk about continuity! But as usual the suggestive direction, the effects and the sheer knowledge that Bay is associated, all made this movie a "must see" for many...and its obvious this is another chain of movies! but will the next one be a hit or miss, this one was a miss....C plus
