From all the praise I received from friends, I had expectations...

Rating: 4/10 (28 June 2009)

The story follows an adolescent Sam Witwicky, just entering college where he meets his room mate who is a follower of the the Autobot conspiracy, whilst also escaping attempts on his life from Decepticons.
The opening scene featuring a hunt for a Decepticon is about the most entertaining the movie gets. After that, we are exposed to low level acting,one-liners, plot lines and next to insulting attempts at cheap distraction with the posing Megan Fox on a motor bike/ slow mo of her falling (with a perverted camera angle) during a fight scene and plenty more *note the 'Species 3' similarity when a Decepticon takes the form of an attractive woman and knocks our hero of his feet.
An All-in attempt at a rehabilitation occurs with the final battle, throwing away the context of a storyline and going all out with action in a last ditch attempt to awe the audience but failing simply because of the lack of context.
But for loud noise, big human-like machines fighting and black-comic- bots incarnate featuring a god-like Optimus Prime voice over, it should be a continuous BLAST.
