Could have been so much better

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2009)

I can't believe this movie. The action was cool, but the plot was completely idiotic. And what's up with the goofy star wars reference. (Picture Darth Vader bowing to the Emperor in Empire strikes back/Megatron bowing like a pathetic loser to the Fallen).
The depiction of the robot twins was just plain racist, and the language was horrific. With just a few minor changes, this movie would have been excellent, but as is, it just fails.
I realize that this is an action movie, and plot was probably not the first thing on Michael Bay's mind, but come on, at least some continuity would have been good. As far as the humor goes, it just seemed like they were trying way too hard, and the attempt came across as completely sophomoric. Despite everything, the movie was entertaining, and I enjoyed it to some degree, however, I am truly disappointed.
