Probably the worst of 2010

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2010)

I usually don't write reviews but I really had to say something about this movie to warn those thinking about watching it because it is nothing short of unwatchable.
There is nothing redeeming about it really. The cavalcade of comic reliefs they bring on screen is unbearable and their jokes are terrible. And they're all annoying on par with Jar Jar Binks. It wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't going on -all- the time but the assault of pointless 'comical' characters is unrelenting.
But it's not the jokes you're after in this movie anyway, now is it? It's the action. Well, the action isn't very good either. It's really hard to tell what's going on as all the Transformers are just a mess of CGI metal. The robots are still incredible acrobats, fast as lightning and completely lack the feel of being massive machines. Or being anything but digital images, really.
I won't even touch the plot. It makes no sense at all and is all over the place. With a runtime of around two and a half hours the movie is way too long to sit through without a decent plot. Or any plot at all. Had they shaped off about ten comic reliefs and an hour of runtime the plot wouldn't matter while the focus stayed on the (albeit, flawed) action. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I really do enjoy a no-brainer action flick once in a while but this is one of the worst I have ever seen even in that category. What a waste to a legendary franchise and $200 million.
