I would say that it's no where near great. It's good enough.

Some of the fight scenes were great (Starscream transforming in mid-flight and taking out the fighter jets was a great scene) but the FX carried the weak script.

For all the shit Bay gets, I think he's one of the best action directors out there. I just think he realizes that and doesn't bother telling good stories.

Nobody tried to hear me when I talked about it at the time. Some YT chick even tried to tell me it's something people say in the south.

Like, "Bitch I've lived in the south all my life, ain't never heard that bullshit in real life! Plus, Bernie Mac's from Chicago and the movie was set in LA!"

but just based on the reaction from friends and people here, i'd say this is where you need to make the distinction between entertaining and good/great. i don't think there's any way it's going to be memorable enough to be considered "great," but did it serve its purpose? yeah.

for two hours, it doesn't need a great plot or fantastic acting, it's a popcorn movie. It looked cool and it was entertaining, and I was satisfied.

i think 'dumb' is probably the most apt description of that flick, although 'corny' is right behind.

Yeah, if you going to make something so lightweight at least cut down the runtime.

Do you mean to question the intelligence of grand artists like lil jon?

I think an excerpt of his own poetry counters this ridiculous slander.

Lil Jon - Move !@#$ Lyrics:
