I’ve finally made the time to sit through this movie. I grew up on the Transformers cartoon and remember going to see the original animated movie when it was in the theater. I was ready for a return to what made Transformers awesome, the epic battle between the autobots and decepticons. What I ended up with was 2.5 hours of “The Beef” and Megan Fox running around on screen. Shia did a decent acting job but I didn’t care for his character at all, Megan Fox could have been replaced by a blow up doll with a voice box and have worked just as well in the movie.
Then we get to the fight scenes. Just like the last movie the fight scenes were between undiscernable robots doing battle with one another. Yes, the animated series had bright colors and could do that but the problem is those bright colors were like jersey’s in the battle. Half the time you have to wait for the dialog to figure out who was fighting and who won.
I’m glad that some studio decided that Michael Bay needed more money to ruin a franchise with an excessive use of explosives and lack of actual story. Perhaps next time he can do a movie about Pearl Harbor and ruin that, wait…
Put this movie on a list of never watch. Go out and buy the animated movie and enjoy.
That’ sone top notch ranting, quite entertaining. I think Megan Fox brings more to the table than a blow up doll, she’s much more pleasant to look at.
