Sam is just an ordinary high-school boy, so he's more than a little shocked his car turns out be a transforming robot in this...

I'm just going to say it, this is one of the most insulting movies I have ever seen. I literally ache with pain whenever this film is mentioned. To talk of this movie as a "Film" is degrading to the visual medium, it is a marketing ploy. Nothing else.

To say that this film panders to the lowest common denominator is inaccurate, as I doubt Micheal Bay even knows what a denominator is. I'll just sum up the whole experience for you: Painfully unfunny jokes that only the sedated would find funny, CGI robots fighting and teenage boy bait with Megan Fox in provocative stances. And do not try to tell me it contains great action. It simply doesn't. There is no joy or connection to be had when watching two pieces of sterile computer generated piles of metal brawling due to a lack in any substance in the visuals. Honestly, 'Godzilla vs King Kong' has more compelling and exciting action in it; that's a pretty strong statement about a film where the action comes from two sweaty japanese men in rubber suits.

It disgusts me that this rotting corpse on the film industry has become one of the most successful films of the 2000's, showing that the average film viewer will indeed flood to what is essentially a scissor kick to their faces and will ask for another round.
