This movie started as 4 stars for me and slowly, slowly turned into the 1 star you see. It was brilliant at first, if you excuse the silly teenage acting, but I figuered that would be expected anyway so i over looked it. THEN the other robot things came to Earth and it all went to hell. The cheese factor was so high, only topped by the ASTOUNDING product placement. Their names should have been Camaro, Apple Computers, Mountain Dew, Nokia and XBox 360 instead of (ha!)

Then there was the weak plot, surely this all could have been avoided if only someone bid on the eBay listing (another name drop). Not to mention the theater was super hot and this movie was super long. The fight...
Transformers
Those robots in disguise get a live action outing as the war between the evil Decepticons and the heroic Autobots erupts on Earth once again
"I'm here to make sure it's LOUD!" boomed Michael Bay, introducing the London press screening of Transformers. Boy, did he get his wish. From the opening sequence - a robot attack on US troops in the Middle East - the Dolby thundered through the auditorium at brain-meltingly high volume. And did it improve our viewing experience? Hard to say because, even though this reviewer (and others around him) was forced to jam fingers in his ears during the louder moments, the film's problems are apparent even to the deaf. It is, in short, unwatchable trash.
Bay is famous for knuckle-headed movies but Transformers makes ...

Once upon a time, within the memory of those still living, if a film was successful, it inspired toys and games without number. Now, apparently, it is the other way around.
Transformers, the new movie by director Michael Bay, is based not on a novel or play or screenwriter's inspiration but on a line of Hasbro toys that have been hot tickets for young boys for more than 20 years and were the basis of several animated TV series and an animated feature. If you're one of the people whose reverence for those toys is next door to a religion, you already know that. If you aren't, there isn't enormous reason to care.
Paradoxically, the problem with Transformers is not with those much-beloved playthings, walking Erector Sets whose defining chara...
