You are right, Rob, it doesn't. However at the same time it makes little difference to younger audiences too. Most kids won't walk out half way through because they've seen better acting, they only come to see one thing - big robots knocking seven-bells out of each other. And to be honest, so do the older adults.
On another note, i think the script was more at fault than the acting - really all Megan Fox, Shia et al were asked to do was run and dive everywhere. The script was light on dialogue and therefore there was little for them to work with. This is common with most action films.
AND, this film was (to be honest!) just one long Hasbro advert to try and sell more toys, after all!

So did i, love the nostalgia (in fact, i still have alot of them - see my desktop compo entry), and i also enjoyed Disturbia with Shia, though i feel we're in the minority judging by the low sales of the DVD. And Bad Boys was a classic, forgot Bay directed that!
I have yet to see it, but friends say it was alright. I'm just glad Soundwave is in it, although not with his classic vocoder'd accent!
Whenever I see Shia LeBouf I think of Holes, which was great in both book and film form. Disturbia was a tad generic but watchable I guess. I think I saw it because I was working in a cinema at the time and got to see any film for free

I think Shia's best is Holes, most anything else I've seen him in I hate him I enjoyed his performance in that new Indiana Jones, even though it wasn't a very good movie :/
If I were going to see the new Transformers, it'd be for robots pummeling each other, but I don't think it looked that good in the first one. The action seemed really messy to me. Everything else about the movie was just bad.
I'll wait for it to come out on showtime or something. If I had money to go to a movie, I'd definitely be going to see Year One.
The new Indy movie... *shudder* It's such a shame that most new films nowadays are either mediocre remakes of classic films, mediocre remakes of mediocre films, or sequels. On the other hand there is Star Trek and The Hangover, so there's hope yet.

Oh wow, I didn't even notice that was Winona Ryder! I must have been too far into geekball mode.
Yea, loved that movie. Hoping they do one more Next Gen before one of the cast members dies.
Though I was very frustrated that they destroyed Vulcan. I guess it is an alternate timeline and all... but if that's so it seems like a waste of time. Like one of those paradox episodes where everything is reset at the end.
Star trek was great, though i too felt slightly miffed that Vulcan had been destroyed. However, i do like the idea of an alternate timeline and gives a good reason as to why future films won't stay too faithful to the old series (which i dislike anyways!). Can't see them doing another Next gen film though, not after the way the last film left everyone leaving for different ships/futures away from each other
