I am a sucker for american patrioism in movies. I get chikcen bumps when Bill Pullmans president leads the aerial assault against the aliens in "Independence day". But the dialog in "Transformers" sucks so badly, the characters are cliché stereotypes and the actors so bad that you wish for the evil robots to destroy every brat that yells "this is so not happening" or"we are so out of here". Most of the intro parts- Like when a soldier waves at his newborn doughter through a webcam or the nerd who steals the hot chick from the huge footballguy - Could be used as reqruitment tapes for al-Qaida.Sure, this is an action movie. And it is directed by Michael Bay, the king of brainless entertaining. But in earlier movies like "The rock", "The island" and "Armageddon" he did hire actors that gives the lines a kind of reliability. He doesn´t give a damn about that here, Maybe so that the robots will seem more alive. And unlike their partners in flesh and bone the 10 feet tall robothero Optimus Prime expresses his emotions worthy Meryl Streep.The effects are awsome- of course. Trucks, helikopters and tanks transform into robots who beat eachother up. Half of Los Angeles is hammered to dust. But after two hours and twentythree minutes you still don´t care which group is going to win. And you still haven´t seen any mechinical wonder half as charming as the yellow automobile in "Herbie, fully loaded". Fredrik Strage

Originally posted by Smokey_locs2006For those who haven't seen it you'll enjoy the movie it took a lot of unexpected ways that Transformers never took but still worked out nicely like people actually being killed. The movie was beautiful and the humor in it did own. Like when Bumble Bee pissed on that guy's head. XDThere was one thing I did not like... how Devastator wasn't multi Transformers and one that even made him was in the movie. It was wrong how Jazz got killed <.<There was a logical reason why Jazz talked the way he did though. Like Optimus said.. They learned how to talk via the internet.So he talked all "Urban" There was a ton of dirty fighting in it.. and from the ending of it.. there will be a number 2.
