I won't pretend to be an professional film critic, but I can tell you that this was a terrible movie. The writing was trite and unimaginative, the directing was disjointed and confusing. Worst of all, this was advertised much like the first Transformers film was a few years ago: an action-packed family film. Instead, it was lewd, vulgar, and grotesquely violent. The first Transformers was certainly violent, but this film made the violence done to humans and autobots alike much more graphic and personal.
