Very good movie.... if you suffer from insomnia

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2009)

There i was in the theatre with a large coke and a bag of popcorn. I wasn't particularly blown away by the first movie, but it had great special effects and a somewhat decent plot. I figured: if it's on the same level as the previous flick i will surely enjoy myself.
Movie begins. Chase on the freeway. Megan Fox on bike. Explosion explosion, explosion. "Wait a minute... what's happening here?" Cheap joke, explosion explosion explosion. "Eh.... Who's who? What are those robots fighting about? How did those parents end up in the desert? Is there a plot?" Then my eyes forcefully closed and i dozed off. The movie was boring.
I really wonder why they couldn't stick to the basic idea of the cartoon. The cartoon had two factions: autobots and decepticons. Each faction had equal screen time. Once in a while the story would switch to the other side by means of an autobot logo switching to the decepticon logo (or and vice versa). The story centred around the robots and not around the humans. The humans were caught in the middle of the fight against their will, and were being protected by the autobots. Why are these movies so different? So, don't see the movie unless you need a good few hours of sleep.
