Plot:
Like there's a plot to this film. Bad robots want to destroy the earth and good robots try to save them and people get in the way. POW! BANG! (Insert shot of Megan Fox leaning over a motorcycle at, get this, her dads motorcycle shop…ewww) POW! WOSH! The end.
Overall:The film lives up to every expectation that I had for a Michael Bay film, which was one mind-numbing explosions after another. Sadly, it wasn't the fun-ride that it needed to be. The film was too long for its own good and by the time we got around to the final fight scene, you're too bored to care about any of the characters.
Anyway it is a cool film for Transformers fans, and the DVDs will out soon after, why not backup this classical film to be preserved.
