I was shocked at the numbers of parents with young children at this movie. Those kids didn't belong there, but it wasn't the parents' fault. They expected a fun family flick with lots of transformer pizazz in it. They got more than they bargained for--and less.
Hollywood was on a role with this movie with terrible language, completely unnecessary sexual innuendos, cheesy performances, a terrible (totally trite and worn out) plot, and a poor excuse for great special effects. Some parts were actually boring. My hubbie, who loves Transformers, actually fell asleep for a couple of minutes part way through. The only good parts were the leading lady's eyes, BumbleBee, and the main character's mother. She was actually funny.
Beyond that, I wouldn't torture my worst enemy with it--and I wouldn't ever encourage my grown children to take my grandchildren to see it. Who ever heard of a robot with balls? For crying out loud. And haven't we seen the story line before? Bad aliens are going to blow up something (in this case our sun) with a special machine hidden in one of the Egyptian pyramids, the good aliens are going to help man fight them, and our main characters have the key. Woopie do. I'm snoring. The middle age kids will probably love the wham-bam stuff and the great transformations of the Transformers, but they shouldn't be inundated with any more foul language than they already hear. And what's with the robot humping the girl? It was bad enough when the dog did it to the other dog. Hollywood, grow up.
