Huh?

Rating: 1/10 (25 June 2009)

What a piece of junk. Seriously I wouldn't mind the ridiculous plot, silly dialog, childish characters, etc if it wasn't mixed in with extreme violence, sexual innuendo, and all the other inappropriate for kid stuff thrown into the mix. Who is this movie made for? If it is for kids then Bay needs to be checked. No parent with a brain would let their kid sit through this. If it is for adults then holy cow they didn't offer up anything. As far as I can figure the writers and Bay put this together for males 18-25 who sit around in their basement in underwear playing with action figures. If that is the case then mission accomplished. It really is a giant piece of rubbish. My whole problem with this is man it could be amazing. Either for kids or adults. Just pick a direction and stay focused on it. You don't have to be perfect although shooting for that would be nice. But if you want to make an amazing Transformers then pick an audience and give that audience the best movie because what you are doing now is turning every crowd off. My kid loves Transformers toys (I never did as a kid) which is why we got excited about the first movie. But he found it boring except for parts and as an adult I found it even more so. I had hoped for more from this one but seriously my kid wanted to leave part way through and go home to watch Clone Wars cartoons instead. Sad.
