Totally redundant, spend your money elsewhere

Rating: 3/10 (29 June 2009)

Where do I start? The horrors are so many, it's difficult to choose. The action for instance is either way too close-up, or totally over edited so there's actually no way of telling what is happening. Unfortunately, there is a LOT of action.
The characters and plot are there, but it looks like no one actually thought they were important. Whenever there is something vaguely hinting towards a plot, something blows up, or some idiot on screen recaps in 1 or 2 sentences what you should know. Or some stereotype character says something only people with serious brain traumas would think funny. And what is up with those new Autobots.....
Then there's the length of the movie. Did no one stop Michael Bay and tell him that his entire story would fit in to a 20 minute movie? This is where it all comes together: this is nothing more or less than an original 20 minute Transformers episode (including people just suddenly appearing to enter the Autobots in vehicle mode). But why oh why would you need a multi-multi-million dollar budget and 150 (!!!) minutes to portray that? I think it's more than reasonable to expect a LOT LOT more than was delivered in this movie. It's boring, it's incomprehensible, and it just does not deliver. I wish I picked another movie.
