I saw the Transformers movie and I'm conflicted; on the one hand, every scene except one with the actual Transformers is amazing. They're visually stunning, and just fun to watch. On the other hand, every other scene is terrible. Ok, a lot of the stuff between Shia LeBoeuf and Megan Fox is pretty good, but the dialogue and even the plot are just so bad. Anthony Anderson, John Tuturro, and Bernie Mac overact so bad it gave me whiplash. They have all the formulaic characters plugged into their holes and the same five shots that Michael Bay has in every movie. Also, aside from some opening scenes with a Decepticon, it's like forty minutes before we see another Transformer and an hour and a half or so until we see more than one at a time. I knew they would mess it up and make a movie about humans and how they deal with the Transformers instead of a movie about the Transformers where humans are kind of an afterthough. I'm sure I'm just being picky cause I have a personal attachment to the Transformers, aside from anything Jim Henson, they're probably my favorite childhood show/toy-how many grown men can say they both have all the Transformers TV show seasons on DVD and that they've had sex?-but I'm not wrong in saying this movie could have been so much better. Is it impossible to make a big action movie that is also a good movie? Maybe I'm asking too much. When they do all these hackey, hokey, schticky things in movies like this I never feel like they're trying to entertain me, but like they're mocking me, like they're saying 'We can put this crap in and they'll still watch.' I know that if this wasn't the Transformers I would have hated it, as it is, I'm just conflicted. I enjoyed it, but I wish I could have enjoyed it more. Maybe by the time they get around to making the sequel I'll have some directorial heat making me a prime choice for it. Yeah right.
