Well this movie sucked, but it's still fun to watch, just because I love seeing action movies over and over again. But this would be better if the plot was strong enough to make the characters seem more realistic. I have so many problems with this movie. One, the plot was really bad. The humor was trying to cover up the flaws in the story, which it didn't work so well. Two, less character development and/or not enough of character development. It seems the human characters were the only ones that had the most screen-time then the robots, who are suppose to be the main characters in this story by the way. And we didn't see enough of the Decepticons planning and communicating as much. Megatron and Starscream's relationship could've been explored more, but no, it was only shown in one scene; "You had failed me yet again, Starscream." -Megatron. Three, Bumblebee was too busy trying to hook up Sam with a hottie. Here's me talking to him, "Hey Bumblebee, what about that mission that you are suppose to do?" He replies, "What mission?" Exactly, he wasn't focus, makes it look like he could care less if the Decepticons did take over the Earth. Of course this is same as #1 on this list, but I just had to point this out. Four, Mikaela is suddenly revealed to be an "outlaw", which looks to me that the writers were like, "Hey let's add this in so people can get to know her more." That scene would've been more better without and Bumblebee "lubricating" on the agent.

But sure, the show was funny with some parts, does that mean this movie has to do the same thing? In my opinion, no. But what can I say? This movie frustrates me everytime I think about it, and everytime I hear someone say, "It's the greatest movie ever made!" Wrong, there is Star Wars, The Dark Knight, and many others. This is not one of the greatest movies ever made. Greatest action movie yet probably, but I like "Live Free or Die Hard" better then this movie. I just wished they could've gotten better writers, or director for this matter. After seeing this, I don't believe that Michael Bay got what it takes to make a really good movie, that actually pay attentions more into the plot, then the action itself. But we'll see when the sequel comes out, but something's telling me that it will be the same as this with the humor and awesome-brand-new action scenes that we've never seen before. But I do have many other complaints about this movie, and I do mean "a lot".

Overall, this movie is enjoyable to watch over and over again. In a lot of ways, it is more then meets the eye.
