One Paragraph Review: Transformers

My Lord, how desperately did this movie want to be Independence Day? In addition to attempting (and failing) to re-create the great ID4, Transformers injected an annoying and painful theme of teen-angst and humor throughout its lengthy runtime. The entire thing was atrocious. I have little doubt Transformers will stand as the worst movie of 2007. Why is this? Because anyone can make a bad movie about anything — see below for review of Evan Almighty — but it takes someone unique to take a brand as revered and incredible as The Transformers and reduce it to a sub-B-movie with a three hundred million dollar budget. Though, the action scenes were pretty sweet.
