Title: Big, dumb and ultimately boring film
Review: "Transformers" is another entry in the Michael Bay "Big, Dumb" movie canon. It starts off OK with some good action and quirky humour but all the fun soon drains away amid confusing and repetitive fights scenes, dopey attempts to make the Autobots seem like regular guys, awkward attempts at romance, and a totally predictable 3rd act. But probably the biggest flaw the film has is that the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons is fundamentally uninteresting. "Transformers" has all that money can buy but no heart - and gives us no reason why we should care about these characters be they human or robot. A case study in the premise that "special effects do not a film make".
