QuoteThe plot is incomprehensible

Reviewers say this alot about summer blockbusters, but most of the times I'm able to easily follow the plot so I just ignore them when they say this.

however, if you were asked to explain the plot, I think you'd come up flummoxed. so I doubt that claim.

I really wonder how much they use CGI to make people look different in movies nowadays.

And cameras can be really deceiving with looks too. E.g. some actresses that look great on camera are dwarves. Natalie Portman or Kylie Minogue (well not an actress but you know what I mean) for example.

Photoshop is the greatest evil in that respect, IMO.

I'm completely convinced. The reviewers are wrong.

1. Who cares if the plot is crap, this is The Transformers, not Hamlet. The plot is good enough.
2. This is a Bay epic with a two hour long chase sequence. But then again, this is completely consistent with a normal Transformers Cartoon episode.
3. The sexiest thing in this movie is not Megan Fox, it is the Prime reborn. Prime is not only the star he is the sexiest thing on screen. I have a man-crush on Optimus Prime.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Well. I was entertained.

A few minor grievances, but all in all it was a fantastic movie.

I thus stand by my initial assertion: Totally Fucking Awesome.

Megan Fox is a freak.

I don't even know who Megan Fox is. That is how far behind I am.

In the real world there is no Optimus Prime to outshine Megan Fox, Scarlett Johansson or Jessica Alba. So yes I'd prefer a Megan Fox to a three foot tall Optimus Prime.
