Transformers - The Review

Optimus Prime, is the leader of Autobots out on a mission to save the Earth from the evil Megatron the leader of the Decepticons. Have you heard that before? I'm not a cartoon freak, but couldn't resist the hype of the Transformers. I had to see it. The movie was joke, filled with really bad attempts at humour, macho equipments with the stunts too wishy washy.
Megatron is this evil dude, who had crash landed into the Arctic Circle more than hundred years ago on his inter-galactic picnic, I think, and has been frozen ever since by humans. Oh, we humans also sweetly called him 'Non-biological Entity - 1' OR NBE-1. What a name! Its not even geeky, as a matter of fact it is sick! There is also a second NBE, its thoughtfully called NBE-2 - Its a darn cube.
The entire story is weaved out with a frozen chunk of metal (megatron), a energy radiating cube, Widwiki's broken spectacles, a bunch of cars that can (un)fold itself like in one of those Motorola ads. Oh boy! I say the cars were so hunky that they looked stupid. The only car I did like was muddy, dirty yellow looks of bumble bee which later transforms itself into a gay looking chevy. The rest were really were never meant to appeal. I mean there was a truck in there too that pop out an ax of fire or something which 'it' uses in battle, attempt to choke an NBE with smoke, tugging bumble bee in battle field. Oh, my god!
Its a shocker how aliens can transform into cars, raptors(?), trucks and hack into NSA's networks. I mean, its a pity. I don't know how the movie is doing in out there, I'm assuming its doing well - with a lot of Hollywood metal! I never had a taste for these sort concepts. I think these sort of concepts are for geeks :) I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling. Frankly, get a life next time around.
