Transformers

I know many people loved Transformers as in the movie and its history of past shows and movies. I am not one of those people. I am just judging this according to how it was as a film and wasn't too impressed. Here are some reasons why: The acting was borderline horrible to bad. Shia LaBeouf was the only standout in this mess of a movie. He has something very attractive about his personality that makes him perfect for movies. He has the ability to make things so ordinary in a movie work. That shows that he has something special within him. Megan Fox is very attractive too but that doesn't include her personality or acting. She is very beautiful and good looking. Still for how many other bad actresses can you say that about? Rachel Taylor though not quite as good looking fits under this category of good looking bad actresses. Tyrese Gibson and Anthony Anderson are not exactly known for their great acting either. Jon Voight and John Turturro are known for their acting though. Voight has even won a well deserved Oscar. In here though they played worse than Megan Fox. The only thing more disappointing than bad acting from actors is bad acting from good actors. This happened in Transformers which made it so frustrating.

The writing in here didn't exactly help the acting though. I can't blame the acting completely because the writing brought it down even more. Some of the plot explanations were horrible in here and so many over used themes and clichés were in here you can't even count how many they appeared. Worst of all was the dialog. Man how bad it was.

The special and sound effects were amazing. Unlike the rest of the movie it was top notch. Some of the action sequences were a real spectacle some were a bit overdone though.

The director takes responsibility for all of this. To me and to many other people Michael Bay is one the worst movie directors around. He can not direct one serious sequence or scene in a movie. He is just reserved for action if he is used for anything else that movie will be doomed from the start.

Anybody who is just looking for pure action you should definitely watch this. If you are expecting the slightest bit of a meaningful movie of some sort of message don't watch this movie. In fact don't even acknowledge it. Transformers has now message at all (no substance) and that is really sad all, it has is a lot of nice effects (all style). I guess people need meaningless trash though.
