Saw it yesterday. The parts with the Transformers fighting were some of the best CGI I've seen. You can keep everything else though.

I'm not sure why Michael Bay needs a wide slomo shot during every transition point. The music doesn't have to get 10 times louder with the action sequences either.


The boy/girl stuff was WAY too forced and overdone.

The whole scene where they were looking for the glasses needed to be 2 minutes not 15. You can only throw in so many ackward teenage moments before it becomes annoying.

I'd rather they spent more exposition on the Tranformers history the the moot stuff they did. The whole point of why they were on Earth was explained in ONE sentence.


I would recommend it just based on watching the Transformers beat on each other. Some of the shots are really cool. It's just that's ALL Michael Bay knows how to do and the rest of the film suffered for it.

A good movie needs a good plot.

THANK YOU!


It's just that they tried to do WAY too much and accomplished none of it. The movie didn't need the hackers or Sector 7 and they should've put Megan Fox in a 20 minute shower scene.

It's worth it to watch the Transformers and megan Fox but the rest was a mess.

Did any of you guys watch the TV show? The plots on the TV show were stupid. If you were going into the movie expecting a great story then you never watched the TV show. I thought the movie was great other than the story line. IMO.
I grew up on that show :D It's been years since I watched any of 'em, but you can't put much storyline into a 22minute episode ;p

For the time, personnel, and money invested in this film the story was inexcusable. They tried to fit a 6 hour movie into 2.5 and it failed. There were like 75 story lines in there that got wrapped up in a sentence.

They should've made the main plot about the Transformers and why they needed to get the "All Spark(Energon Cube)" and made the "boy-comming-of-age" story separate. It was more "Robots-help-a-kid-get-laid".

I'm just mad that so much potential was wasted.

That movie was pretty darn good. The special effects for me were spot on. I would have done some very dirty things to that girl.

Overall I can see the story line issue but I too grew up on those things. Transformers were the shit!! I had so many as a kid. So for me the movie overall Rocked big time!!
