Saw "Transformers". Once again, I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, Michael Bay would deliver something that is at least entertaining action, if it has no other redeeming qualities. Once again I was disappointed.

Viewers come out of Michael Bay movies looking stunned and numb, because their senses have been assaulted so mercilessly, so loudly, and with so little respite, for the last two and a half hours. The movie is loud, chaotic, nonsense. The robot designs are so overly-complicated it makes it difficult to tell what's going on in any given scene. The comic relief scenes seemed like they were written by a six-year-old.

I give them props for getting Peter Cullen to voice Optimus Prime, but that's about it. Beyond that, Michael Bay makes another big bunch of cinematic nothing that might as well not even exist.

Plus, Stan Bush is nowhere to be found on the soundtrack. Bastards.
