[Movie] Transformers Movie (07-04-07)

I just got back from this a couple hours ago. Wow, what a fun ride. There is definitely too much Transformers "lore" to fit it into a 2 hour 20 minute film and still have any action at all. There definitely were some things that didn't make sense, but they were forgivable in a film like this. Overall, I enjoyed the film yet for all the talk about Michael Bay action, I actually felt this film was lacking in action. The robot fight scenes were mostly just a blur of bullets or a blur of metal. In other words, there was really no character interaction going on during most of the action scenes. The exception would probably be during the last fight at the end of the film. The Autobots didn't really have many lines, and the Decepticons had hardly any lines at all. I guess Bumblebee was the only one the viewer was really supposed to empathize with. Which was interesting seeing as how he didn't really talk the whole film. There were just several extremely odd choices like that which the director made. I bet they were done for a reason, and like I said the film works overall, but if you take the whole of the parts rather than the sum things definitely don't add up...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
