We felt two ways about this movie.
Firstly, this is a perfect summer blockbuster. Huge visuals, awesome action, killer soundtrack, appealing stars. You'd be hard pressed to find a better usage of your hard earned money, than this action romp.
Secondly, this movie was disappointing (kids, can you say bipolar?).
Megan Fox was downright ridiculous. It's actually impossible to tell if she can act at all in this movie.
John Turturro, Kevin Dunn and Julie White (who play Shia's parents) steal the show. They are brilliant with the really crappy script. Without them and the power of LeBeouf's amazing screen presence, this movie would have been eye candy and nothing else.
The storyline was terrible. Want to know all of the plot holes? There are several articles online right now detailing the loooong list. I'll leave you to read those, if you're interested.
But, needless to say, you'd think with the time, effort and budget they could have done a lot better.
So! A empty-headed rompfest that's bags o' fun. Transformers...robots in disguise (because they desperately need a better script).
This movie made me fast forward to the last 20 minutes and I DIDN'T miss anythig real important. Bad movie and I like the first one.
