Aint It Cool News reviewed the latest “film” by Michael Bay and tore the thing to pieces. Check out what they has to say.
They speak in clichéd urban slang, tossing around phrases like “I’m gonna pop a cap in your ass” while fist bumping and mumbling unintelligently in a voice that sounds like a bad Chappelle Show sketch. Then you get a close up. And they each have bug eyes and a gold tooth. Then there’s this jackass comment about them not being able to read. My jaw was on the floor. I mean, if you’re gonna toss out a bad stereotype, at least have the courtesy to make that stereotype a complete badass so as to deflect complaints that this is a deliberately negative portrayal. These mother fuckers are incompetent, bumbling and never, EVER, cool.
Things like these are exactly why I hated the first film, and this confirms my fears. I can typically enjoy a film or two by Bay, but when things get this extreme I’m quite simply insulted. I’m not sure if the rumors are true, but I read somewhere that he’s tired of critics not liking his action films so he’s gonna move on to something else. PLEASE!!
Then again, try to imagine a world where Bay makes films like In The Bedroom, Juno, or Gorillas in the Mist. Could he do it? Could he actually make a film without slapping GM cars in our faces, or Puma branded clothes on everyone? I don’t know if he could. You have to check out the full review over at AICN, it’s hilarious and painful at the same time.
I can’t wait for this movie to be free on Netflix streaming. Actually, yes I can.

There is only one acceptable form of Bayhem, and that is the Rock. This is mainly due to Nick Cage being the dude from Wicker Man and Sean Connery being himself. Oh, and really weird writers.
I love Roger Ebert’s review even more. He is pretty spot on: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090623/REVIEWS/906239997
“Like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan!” (Bradshaw, Guardian); “Sums up everything that is most tedious, crass and despicable about modern Hollywood!” (Tookey, Daily Mail); “A giant, lumbering idiot of a movie!” (Edwards, Daily Mirror). The first American review, however, reported that it “feels destined to be the biggest movie of all time” (Todd Gilchrist, Cinematical). It’s certainly the biggest something of all time.”
The movie was good. The End. Stop being so critical and a Bay hater.
Stop being so critical? First of all, you KNOW of my hate for Transformers. Every review I’ve read only confirms my expectations. All I’m doing is pointing at it and laughing.
Transformers 2 was awful. Hard to follow, no plot its SUCKED so bad. I know guys love Megan Fox but it was too much of her and the LaBeouf kid. Not enough Transformers. It should have been called Boy and Girl save the Earth.
