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

The jokes almost ruined it for me. They were awkwardly unfunny. The only genuinely funny sequence was the one nazpyro mentioned. Anthony Anderson was actually decent, which should tell you how low the comedy was in this movie.

I mean, the comedy bits really bogged down the movie. I was totally into the film until the whole hide the Autobots from Shia's parents scene. And then the following scene with the Sector 7 agents (especially John Turturro) simply made the movie lame. Man, these scenes sucked so bad.

Whoever wrote the dialogue for this movie is really out of touch with the mainstream public. If they wanted to be trendy and have pop-culture humor, they missed the mark. Completely.

Besides that, everything else was fine. I wasn't expecting much of the story because, seriously, Transformers never had a great plot. The GM product placement didn't bother me, but everything else did (ebay, Xbox360, etc.).

The human characters were not too bad, although I was more interested in the Army guys than Shia LeBeouf and his creepy-eyed girlfriend. I was surprised by the lack of character development of the Transformers. I mean, I wasn't expecting a deep look into their characters, but if you can't distinguish one robot from the other, why are you going to care when they die?

The action is the only reason to see this movie. It was really fun watching everything blow up on screen. I was really impressed on how fluid and lifelike everything was. Truly amazing.

This was a good movie, but it could have been better. In the sequel (which is inevitable), I hope they cut down on the comedy, or at least hire someone that knows how to write it. Maybe then we'll have a movie that is actually worth remembering.
