"Transformers"
is arguably the worst movie ever made, with the possible exception of
"Plan 9 from Outer Space". Why do so many people take it so
seriously? Do they have a crush on Sam's criminal girlfriend? Or on that blond
woman with the funny accent? She sounds like Kylie Minogue! The fat Black guys
were funny when dancing, but only for so long. Oh yes, there were some robots
involved, as well. Did anyone notice?
The concept isn't bad (if you are 12 years old). Evil robot, good robot, the All Spark, hot teenage girl, secret government operations, hackers...
The execution, however, is lousy. Frankly, this must be the ultimate turkey movie. And who on earth is that chicken-eating cowboy who shows up all the time? The guy the Indians shoot at?
Oh, sorry, that was a Swedish TV commercial... My mistake.
The only redeeming feature of "Transformers" is the music. Could have worked in a real epic, about Ulysses or something. But otherwise, you need to be pretty low brow to find this even involuntarily funny.
Zero stars.
