It shouldn't shock any human being to hear that a
Transformers sequel is bad. After what I recollect to be a solid first movie in 2007 (I haven't watched that original Michael Bay feature in years so I can't attest to how it holds up), the sequels in this series have been a never ending series of assaults on the senses. The only good things that have come out of these sequels is
the various essays on Revenge Of The Fallen Roger Ebert penned back in 2009 and this one
inexplicably bizzare John Turturro moment from the third movie. Otherwise, it's been utterly irritating nonsense for four straight movies. While other American blockbusters lend real gravitas to obscure characters, contemplate weighty themes or deliver rousing spectacle, the
Transformers sequels are content to devote entire scenes to the Romeo & Juliet Law.
