P.S. i have seen it, and i was expecting disappointment but was pleasantly surprised! And my gf liked it, and she hates what i like usually (which is why i drag her out to see stuff like this, to make her suffer! lol), so it can't be all bad.
I don't normally like Michael Bay stuff but yea, me and the girlfriend saw that last one in its closing week at the cinema just for the sake of it. It wasn't brilliant or anything but a nice to chillax too... Except that big final battle really lost my attention.
I'm not a fan of Shia either, or that Megan Fox... Or Bay!
It looks really cool actually. When I heard about the first Transformers movie I thought "ridiculous" at first, but then it turned out to be really good! Unfortunately, we probably won't see it- we haven't seen a movie in about 2 years or so. :0
I just laugh at the end of the first one when that soldier is saying to Shia "You have to do it, you're a soldier now!" like .. what? There was so much lame acting in it. Uber cheesey lameness. I did like it, but only because I took it for what it was and it was meant to cater to all ages so it needed that certain cheese factor.
Not really dying to see the second one though, but I probably will soon.
I didn't mean that poor acting meant it was okay, I think what I was trying to say was that if it was totally serious all the time during the first movie it's not catering as well to younger audiences, that's why they put some funny parts in and cheesy-ish bits. Of course they could have gone all out serious and made it some crazy bad-ass motherf--ker movie but then it would be more adult-suited, probably contain a lot of profanity and more bleedings.
But that would take Transformers into a different context (the wrong context, too) as a serious adult film. Dropping ratings, audience size and revenue. Really, it's an adaptation of all the old cartoons etc and toys and all that which is nostalgic for some people into a movie with some cool effects and crazy robot transformations. Like a modern reliving of an old thing.
I think they just ended up with a lot of hit-and-miss with some of the script. Or perhaps it just wasn't played convincingly enough by the actors.
I'm rambling a bit.. Someone save me before I say something really stupid.
