Gents. Here’s the scoop. It’s not a movie. It’s a 2.5 hour commercial. No plot required. People like expensive commercials. Feeling sorry for McG? Come on. The movie is for kids to sell toys & swag. Nothing more.
Obviously you have a vested interest in selling Transformers swag, so your credibility is questionable. But regardless, perhaps Michael Bay needs to return to the small screen and direct music videos and commercials, because as I recall, I went to a multiplex to see this film, after 20 minutes of commercials.
I believe that if a transformer could cry, Micheal bay would have ben affleck take over Shit LaBeouf’s character and create a oscar worthy drama. Unfortunately Bay sent his actors to Bill Shatner’s “acting out of a paperbag school of drama” to save money.
