"Transformers"

Probably I should not write this post, but the current 8.4/10 rating on IMDB is just crazy. No, "Transformers" is not worth seeing. The movie is a total mess. Almost no one can act. The main character is a complete idiot, who does not raise any sympathy. The screenplay is totally hosed: it jumps around a lot of places and people without any need, introduces bunch of totally unnecessary characters, cannot decide if it is a comedy or an action movie. The fight scenes are filmed at such a speed that you can't understand what's happening and then it's over. The transformers are hugely underused - they should be stars. There are a lot of great ways of how their transforming abilities should be used in the plot and yet they are not, mostly it's the car-to-robot-to-car stuff. Horrible. Don't waste your time and money. A lot of anime giant robot movies are much better IMO. 3/10.

P.S. Yes, that was a Nokia phone and no, unfortunately the real ones don't transform into little nasty running spidery things, sorry. ;)
