Exclusive Video From The UK Transformers 2 Press Conference

By Brendon Connelly/June 23, 2009 11:00 pm EST

This video is probably going to have to stand as my final piece of coverage on the Transformers film, though I will tell you that I really didn’t like the film at all. John Turturro did make me laugh but… actually, he made me laugh more during the press conference than the movie. I found the film to be not only incredibly hollow and badly conceived but also quite dreadfully put together. Aside from the high production value in the cinematography, score and ILM FX, there’s not much craftsmanship to praise – and trust me, that’s being charitable to the cinematography and score.

Here’s the video:

If I was to write a full review of the film, which I’m not, there’d be just one joke I’d really want to get into it. Here’s that joke now, in lieu of anything more involved:

And, actually, I think you can pretty much boil it down to that. A throwaway comment for an utterly disposable film.

So, one of the Transformers has bollocks, one of them says bollocks, but all of them are bollocks.
