I thought the movie was far from great. I could name so many problems with the film, where do I begin? Firstly, the story was a mess. Now, before someone points out that Im missing the point of Transformers and that I shouldnt look deep into the story, I couldnt help it, I literally couldnt. Bay tried so hard to sell this movie as both an action flic and a story flic but the story was never going to go anywhere, no matter how hard you try. The film was trying to cram a half assed story into my mouth when I didnt want it. When they were having heated discussions about the plot in the film I couldnt help but laugh at how serious the movie was taking itself. There are also some stupid plot errors in the movie (SPOILER) For one, why did they think it would be a good idea to hide the All Spark in the city where more lives would be at risk in they had just left it in the dam And why must the Government be involved in absolutely everything nowadays. They wasted so much time throughout the movie trying to establish the Government's role in everything that I couldnt wait for it just to switch back to whoever else might of been in this film. Why must they do this to us when they know we just want to see the Transformers.

Ok, now to the Transformers. They looked nice, Ill give them that. Those were some crazy special effects, best Ive ever seen probably. But while they looked nice how they played out in the film was lame. Not enough dialog between any of them, especially the decepticons. More time went to establish the pointless Government agents then any of the Transformers. Maybe Bumblebee and Optimus Prime got some good screen time but the rest got maybe one or two lines in and just wrecked the hell out of each other after that. In my opinion, 90% of the talking should be between the Transformers. Its all about them after all. The action on the other hand was decent, but it still bugged me in a few spots. With so much crazy stuff going on its hard to see who's fighting who, and shaky cam sure doesnt help. And the lack of any character development for the Transformers meant that you werent going to be recognizing any of them because you didnt care about them in the first place. And they all look the same when kicking the crap out of each other. There were spots though when I was pretty impressed with the action, one slo mo effect in particular took me off guard it being so awesome. I was a tad disappointed by the fact that Optimus Prime and Megatron didnt properly duke it out. Where was the 5 minute long speech by Optimus Prime to Megatron before they kicked the living crap out of each other? While it did deliver on that part a slight bit it was nothing how it should of been.

Some people are praising the movie for it humor but I didnt find it that funny, maybe If I was 10......maybe.
