Negative Positive
Title: Good special FX, BAAD Acting
Review: I was so hyped to see this movie after all the build up to Summer, man what a letdown. My fears that Michael Bay would ruin this movie were completely realized. The first HOUR is nothing but the kid screwing around with his car, add to that lame jokes, slapstick humor, too much emo teen angst, and the worst performance from John Turturro I've ever seen. Not too mention they only gave Starscream one line in the ENTIRE film. I seriuosly hope Bay keeps his threat not to direct the sequel, Steven Spielberg could have done such a better job himself. Rent it, trust me you don't want to waste the money.Edit: I've had over a year to let this film sink in, and my opinion of it has improved. I've noticed a lot of Bay films are like that, cheesy and cliche at first, then they become comforting to watch over time. I still want to see way more robot acting in the sequel, but without the need to set up a second movie, hopefully the action will kick off right from the start.
