Spoiler Alert: I can't do a review of this movie w/out giving some things away....So here we go...
DANG IT! This movie let me down so much that I could almost cry. I had HUGE expectations going into this movie; 1. Because "Transformers" is one of my favorite movies of all time and 2. because all the hype leading up to it was all positive. So when I finally saw the whole movie, I couldn't help but be disappointed.
Here's the breakdown: The transformer fight scenes were great. They looked more human-esque in how they died. Optimus Prime is way cooler in this movie than in the 1st. Starscream's character was well done. That's about all the positives I have to say. The writing was absolutely terrible. For some reason they decided to try and make this movie more of a comedy. The jokes were vulgar, simple, and way too frequent. How many times can you show dogs humping? I think T2 showed it 4 times. There are two twin autobots in the movie that play a major role. They almost ruined the movie all on their own - their jokes are stupid and so are their characters. The parents were in it way too much. They tried to make the mom a comic relief, but again, she was more annoying than anything else. Towards the end of the movie, the parents play a role in the story and it's completely pointless.
There's not much to say about this movie that hasn't already been said by critics. The movie was rushed to be made and it felt like that. The movie was way too long - 2 1/2 hours. It's a movie that should be made for 10 year olds that adults can enjoy and it never felt that way. If I had a child under 13, I wouldn't want them to see it.
The worst offense of all...they stole a line straight out of Star Wars. There is no greater offense. When Fallen said it, I literally got angry.
Overall, I'd give this movie a C-. But b/c I'm a huge nerd, I will probably buy it the day it comes out on DVD. What's wrong w/ me?
