Ok I hate the live action ones because I compared them to the 1986 movie. And While I hate the 1st Bay movie... I gave it an average rating because I expected more from the film and it didn't deliver. But this one is FAR WORSE THAN THE 1ST!!!! I;'ll give you my rating right now 0.5/10... that's it... it doesn't even deserve one point. And trust me I've seen some bad movies. THIS WAS GOD AWFUL!!!! Here are my complaints... I'm more harsh on this one because they struck out once so Michael Bay should have known how to fix it this time.
1. The twins are fucking annoying as well as racially insensitive... I would have rather had Jar Jar Blinks come in and replace them. They had to give these fuckheads lines that offend an entire race but they couldn't have given the original characters anymore than 1-2 lines each... even Optimus barely has dialogue. WTF!!!
2. The action scenes are nothing special... sub par. A big issue is that the camera moves too much and is either shot too wide or too close which makes the action disorienting and at times I could barely tell what was going on. There's no balance with the action camera. not only that... I was bored... other than the fight Optimus has in the forest with was only ok... almost all the other action scenes went on too long... were not interesting... and lots of the robots looked the same I couldn't even tell who to root for or even who was winning for that matter. I swear I thought I saw Megatron die 12 times mistaking him for one of his henchmen. You think if the Transformers movies had anything... it was the visual effects... but why do so much work of visual figures we can't see clearly anyway during fight scenes. If the 1986 movie could make some good action with just pencil and paper then there is no excuse for a CGI movie.
3. Where is the Transformers theme song? Seriously... after all the online flak about it over the last film you would think Bay would have given the fans what they wanted... LINKIN PARK SUCKS.... the song "What I Done" has nothing to even do with robots... just there for market value.
4. The acting... OH GOD... first of all there are too many unlikable characters as is... the parents are retarded... twins are stupid and insulting... the roommate was obnoxious as even the fucking movie said... Shai Lebuf is awful as like with the last one... but combined that with awful lines and dialogue that's it's impossible to deliver it any good even if you had Morgan Freeman to narrate for you. Too many bad line moments in this made my cringe. The transformers are the only good actors and they barely have dialogue.
5. The first hour has nothing to do with the plot... much like the first 45 of the 1st one... bad teen comedy moments having nothing to do with the robots at all... this is Transformers... not "Boy leaving for college and mom becomes a pot head" seriously. In fact even though the human involvement is a little more balanced than the 1st it's still too much... and there are far worse scenes with humans.
6. Next is dumb moments... such as dogs humping each other, mom becoming a pot head, too much focus on the guy/girl relationship when none of us give a shit whether he says the "L" word or not, some guy wearing a man thong, kid dying and going to robot heaven (not making that up), Decepticon turning into hot model chick, the fact that the all the moments from the first is "covered up" (sure you should be able to hide robots destroy a city... not too hard),... why is any of that in there... to make the movie even more retarded!!!!!
7. I have no problem with Optimus dying... they did that in the 1986 movie... but resurrecting him was dumb as well because when you kill a robot then keep him dead or don't kill him. He's not Jesus he's Optimus. And if you are going to do that then bring Jazz back too.
8. The Matrix looks nothing like it did in the 1986 movie.
9. Why not keep Shai dead... in fact kill all the humans so they can stop taking away from the movie please?
10. Why is Soundwave a satilite? Wasn't he origally a tape player... I mean I expected them to turn him into something like MP3 player or Ipod but satilite was the last thing I expected... has nothing to do with his name.
11. The final fight is so anti-climatic... it's less than 2 minutes... WTF!!!
12. How is it those annoying twins take down Devestator???? I mean in the show only the Dinobots could do that.
13. Where are the Dinobots?
14. There's too much focus on the bad Transformers over the good ones... which is dumb because we like the good ones... I barely saw Iron Hide... I don't remember where Ultra Magnus was... Bumble Bee has no voice... (why... that radio thing is getting old.) and I spotted RC only a couple times towards the beginning. The rest I may have seen for like a second. Yet the bad guys get a few full scenes of dialogue.
There ya go... avoid this movie.... it can go fuck itself... this movie honestly pissed me off.
