Pros:
1)There is some great CGI
2)When the Decepticons first begin to reveal themselves, it's pretty sinister and dead exciting.
3)Shia is good value and Megan is truly a fox.
4)There are some great comedy moments.
Cons:
1) It's far too long. Bay makes the mistake of trying to fit too many scenes in, when there isn't enough subject matter to go around. This means that even the action scenes drag and you want the film to end about half an hour before it does.
2)Although the robots look great, the fighting is often too fast to keep up with.
3)The little robot that does the hacking is really, really annoying.
4)The script, although funny in places, often feels like it was written by a 12 year old.
5)The plot is patchy, at best.
6)Why is John Turturro in this film?
7)It is very, very cheesy.
In summary, although I loved Transformers when I was a kid, this was a pretty big disappointment. It probably could have been saved by editing out about an hour of the detritus, or by cutting down on the cheese factor, but even though I gave it more than the benefit of the doubt (I was trying desperately hard to like it), I almost wish I hadn't been to see it.
bad- beacause this could have been fantastic,up there with terminator 2 and the original first two star wars movies,instead its like watching a film like that, with the clumps from nutty professor and a robotic jarjar binks thrown in to wind you up.but if you still like the sound of it you will love this film,there are a few great moments and the robots on the whole are enough to make me watch again. it should have been so much better,no imagination in the plot i.e. frozen secret megatron in us underground base-independence day? american kids smarter than pentagons best-not sure if thats silly or not!
Hollywood actress Megan Fox has killed off rumours her character will make a dramatic exit in the next Transformers movie - insisting writers are not plotting a death scene for the upcoming sequel. The brunette beauty shot to fame with her role as Mikaela Banes in the original 2007 blockbuster and she returned alongside Shia LaBeouf for this year's (09) follow-up Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Movie bosses have confirmed the stars will return to film another robot movie, which is due for Read more
