Rating: 3/10
Do. Not. Bother. Seriously, just don't. Save your money for something worthwhile. Unless all you need is for something to go boom on-screen every five minutes or so. Because this movie is downright stupid. All the Transformer movies before? Shakespeare compared to this drivel! I gave it 3 stars only because the special effects are top notch.
The whole Yeager family drama with a loser dad and "I know better" teenage daughter? God. At least Megan Fox's Mikaela was useful and smart and she actually helped. Tessa? By the end of the movie I hoped one of the robots would stomp on her and deliver us from her whiny petulance. And let's not forget her Hemsworth-like clone of a boyfriend, boning an underage girl and carrying around a card with the "Romeo and Juliet" law written on it to justify that. Eww... Just, eww! The way the family always argued, the way the girl never did as she was told, always, ALWAYS complaining! Give me back Sam Witwicky, seriously!
I wish the movie had been about the crazy billionaire, Joyce, and his ex-wife - played by the beautiful Sophia Myles - and his kick-ass Chinese assistant - played by Bingbing Li. Now THAT would've been awesome. But no, we just HAD TO get a moody teenage damsel in distress with pouty lips, big boobs and in the tiniest cut-offs I've ever seen! Sheesh on a pogo stick. Yes, I do have many feels about that!
And the transformers themselves. Wow. How can you make a boring group of transformers! Yet Bay managed it. Bumblebee is delegated to a minor spot and then there's the Asian-like warrior, the opportunist and the fat old veteran. And that's it. Eh.
Once again, don't bother. It's not worth it.
