2007

Director: Michael Bay

so i guess it shouldn't be a big surprise that michael bay didn't make a great movie.  the good news is that the special effects in this film are unbelievable.  there was not one moment during the entire 2+ hours that i was pulled out of the movie because of faulty effects.  they looked great and there was flawless interaction between the real people and the transformers.  the reason i was pulled out was because it just wasn't that interesting.  there are some good action set pieces and cool moments, but the script isn't anything special and i found myself bored by the end of it all.  it is possible to make a blockbuster special effects movie with an intelligent and engaging story and script, but Transformers is not such a film.
