I had a great time, but was nevertheless kind of disappointed. A couple of critics I really respect had reservations but ended up loving it after a second watch, so I will reserve the right to change my mind. For now..
Best Part: Superpowers in action. Recent superhero movies (even good ones) have featured mostly people punching each other. This movie -due to the flexibility of animation- brings the hero's powers to the limit, creating some of the best action…
No doubt Michael Bay is an auteur. He can’t help but inject every second of his films with personality. Too bad I can’t imagine a least appealing place to spend two and half hours than inside his mind.
I haven't hated a movie quite this much in a long time. This is unbearably dour, grim, self-serious. This is supposed to be a summer movie? It's like watching Schindler's List starring a bunch of apes. Don't mistake joylessness for relevance. Don't mistake seriousness for having something to say. This is the opposite of good cinema. Repugnant.
