Transformers

Starring:

Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, John Turturo, Tyrese Gibson

Director: Michael Bay

Genre: Action, Sci-Fi

Rated: PG-13

There really isn’t a lot of plot to Transformers the Decepticons are after Sam (Shia LaBeouf) to find a hidden tomb which holds the key to sucking the energy from the sun, the government thinks the Decepticons are only on earth to fight the Autobots and wants to shut down the NEST team and the Autobots.

You know the story is weak when after his family is attacked by appliances Sam is still willing to move cross country abandoning his car/robot BumbleBee and his hot girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox) to try and feel normal. Sorry but it just wouldn’t happen.

Transformers is Big, its Loud and it’s not very good. Director Michael Bay who is unfamiliar with Subtlety or Story returns to direct the second installment. Bay with the sensibility of an 8 yr old excels at blowing things up and making loud noises; however he consistently fails at the most important aspect of a movie, making it enjoyable. With a running time of over two hours and 30 minutes, and a story that could have been told in a 30 minute cartoon; that leaves just over two hours for slow motion explosions. The action scenes last forever and soon become boring and repetitive, there is absolutely nothing engaging about this film.  Transformers is going to be a huge success despite the fact that it is not any good and proves that Hollywood is a business and will put out anything that makes money.
