Visually stunning but definitely lacking.

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2009)

I was extremely thrilled about this film. I commonly hear the complaint "it's too long", which I do not believe in. I love long films. If a movie is gripping and just entertaining than I do not mind. While, yes I was entertained with this movie. I could not help but feel as if it was just lacking something. My friends were totally awestruck by the movie and the majority of the crowd seemed to love it. Then, it hit me. While, yes this movie is beautiful and entertaining, it is just so hard to follow and frankly a little sappy. The plot is so complex and difficult to catch onto. The only reason fanboys are wetting their pants over this is because there are massive explosions and big robots. We are now breeding ignorance. Michael Bay has just proved that all you have to do to succeed in Hollywood is make a movie filled with mindless action and no real intention on a creating an intelligent movie.
