Another fail for bay...

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2009)

I really thought that after the last movie he would have actually watched transformers and maybe read some of the comics, but it seems not. This film should be called "Transformers: Alternate reality" because it is not how it should be.
Lets just look at some things here... (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)
The matrix - Wrong shape, wrong purpose, just no. The cube - wtf was that in the first place..? Megatron calling someone master? HA! Also agent smith as megatron... jeez.
Also... I noticed that demolishor was killed in the beginning of the film, yet somehow he managed to come back to life to help form devastator.. Speaking of reborn transformers, bonecrusher? He must have got a new head... And looking at the cast list... Jazz, Frenzy, Barricade? WTF. I didn't see them...
Mudflap and Skids, well some people would have liked them but all I saw in them was that they were the token black transformers seeing as jazz had no lines.
The actual transformers weren't too bad, with the addition of jolt and sideswipe (or Stabby McWheelyfeet -TF2005 XD). Starscream was a lot better, with more lines and a lot more accurate to his persona. Devastator was confusing, i must have counted at least 9 constructicons through the film (1 of which was killed by optimus, 1 to revive megatron) he's made up of 5 i think, but by the time he'd formed i swear i counted about 9 constructicons.. Also there was a lot of incontinuity with Optimus' look at the end. Soundwave was one of the only ones that stuck out in my head, as well as starscream.
To break this movie down simply:
Bay film=Explosions etc... TF storyline completely messed up. Poorly written script. Only slightly better than the 1st one for the fact that the action sequences had longer angles and you could actually see what was happening.
If you are a child that likes action movies, explosions, and have never watched an episode of transformers made before 2000 then get your parents to take you, its worth the free popcorn.
If you are a real die-hard transformers fan, watch a bootleg. It'll avoid the disappointment and regret of paying to watch it.
I can already see TF3... The matrix gets into decepticon hands and they turn the I.S.S into Unicron. With more explosions and crappy one liners than you can even imagine!
overall i give a 2/5 for this film.
