A Waste of My Time

Rating: 3/10 (4 July 2009)

I had high hopes for this movie, though I hadn't seen the previous Transformers I still though the previews looked good. However I soon realized my mistake. This movie was immature, underdeveloped, and somewhat promoting of racial stereotypes through a robot persona. The parents were retarded. The love story was lacking and overly dramatized. The music was ridiculously dramatic turning everything into a huge ordeal. No character development took place and there were some predictably bad characters as well as some pretty uninspired acting. The two added robots were stereotypical and fairly racist as they were the ones who carried the brunt of the immature humor. The reason I even give this a 3 star rating was that the graphics were immersive and the sound effects too. The reason ONLY three is because of the aforementioned, and because special effects cannot be a selling point for a movie. Sure they're cool to see, but I'd rather not have to deal with awful robot penis jokes (why do they even have a penis? or care of there existence...? but i wander...) and bad characters with generic, over-hyped, and unrealistic personalities. It was almost like watching an alternate universe where everyone is retarded.
