Robots In Disguise

Knowing full well, that Michael Bay was directing Transformers I had little or no expectations for this long-awaited film. Over a year ago, I was one of the unlucky ones to watch Bay's film, "The Island." Probably the worst film in recent memory, if anyone wants a preview of what to expect of Transformers then watch that movie first. Bay's senseless and reckless use of explosions, cheeky humor, coupled with his inability to create meaningful characters doomed The Island and it certainly dooms Transformers.

Transformers clocks-in just under two and a half hours and by all estimates its length is a bit laborious. I felt that Bay failed to capitalized numerous times on certain objects and situations to develop a greater attachment to the focal pieces. My overall rating is a B. Transformers has moments and at times periods of smart acting. However, leave it to Michael Bay to morph this beloved series into a specticle that ultimatley deforms into a roadside wreck.

I like that you used the word "cheeky." Good movie review Ebert.
