This might have been the worst movie I have ever spent $12 on in my life.
If you're not going to respect my opinion and cry about how I'm a movie snob or I shouldn't have been expecting The Godfather then shut the fukk up and don't read this.
For the record I saw it in non 3D IMAX. I can't imagine that 3D would have made it anymore enjoyable.
Mind numbing action with no breaks, embarrassingly cheesy dialogue, predictable one liners, melodramatic bullshyt and about an hour too long.
It was all there.....Michael Bay's signature hero intro shots, helicopters quickly diving to the left or right, flares seemingly coming out of nowhere, picturesque landscapes...NONE of it helped.
The action scenes were tight. But some of the shyt was just outlandish. Like when Optimus Prime ( I believe it was him, can't remember now) had the girl in his hand and he broke through the truck. You could clearly see that she would have surely died from that. I mean...I understanding talking alien robots requires some suspension of belief...but you have to ground it in some sort of reality for it to work. And shyt like this constantly took me out of the movie.
It's almost like Michael Bay should be allowed to shoot all of his action scenes and should have the B crew shoot the dialogue and story scenes. But then again....not even Scorcese can make "We don't have a home dad....it blew up" sound like a Oscar worthy line.

Man. fukk this movie. fukk Hollywood. And fukk Hasbro for selling out and ruining my childhood.
The original movie is still the best in the series.
