Transformers the Movie (2007)
Hmm…

Okay, I cried in shock – the story was so bad. The story writers have turned the Transformers into a joke, full of cheese and organic substances. The serious, kickass, epic conflict of heroic Autobots versus evil Decepticons was not the core of this movie, that’s for sure. The screenwriters must have been on drugs when they wrote the story; cause the movie doesn’t back up what they say in this video “Transformers Undisguised”:

Ten (off the cuff) reasons why I wasn’t happy:
- The Autobots are portrayed as clumsy and stupid
- The soundtrack lacked character – it was cliche and generic
- There were more comedians in the cast than robots
- Any intelligent robot would use Google search over Yahoo!
- Optimus Prime lacks charisma and balls
- Bumblebee can’t talk – this sub-plot is weak and curiously dull
- The robots are undeveloped and we learn little about them
- Human weapons cannot defeat (Alien) Autobots and Decepticons, surely
- The tall blonde had a strong Australian accent; an oriental actress might have been more plausible to crack the code over a donut loving, game addicted couch potato
- The robots were too organic-looking and the only real eye-candy was Sam’s girlfriend
