Michael Bay has made a film on par with Uwe Boll's in the name of the king imo. I think in all truth many episodes of the cartoon, a show made only to sell toys, made A LOT more sense. Compared to this, the animated film looks like Citizen Kane.

It starts off awful, and just keeps digging. You have a robot with a beard, a robot get choked, robots spray out red fluids like blood repeatedly, people climbing up buildings just to jump off with flying squirrel suits for no other reason than just to do that... In fact, there are so many set pieces in the film (guys come up out of water with guns, monster hiding behind column so you stay quiet, guy looks at girl while describing curves on a car, guys in plane watch as others around them get shot down, and on and on) that it almost seems like a montage taken from lots of other movies or perhaps a failed parody.

They actually have Leonard Nimoy paraphrase one of his most famous lines from Star Trek, but just flip it around since he's evil! Who writes like that? I didn't actually see him twiddle his mustache (which he totally has) but it wouldn't have been out of place in this wreck of a film.

There are no likeable characters in the entire film. Not one. Take Optimus Prime; he's either ripping off King Leonidas (slow-mo sword attack and all) or a gigantic retard, at one point getting tangled up in wires and requiring others to cut him down like a stuck kite. He does something stupid or wrong nearly half the time he is on screen, and spouts gems like "Mankind have given up on the autobots, but you must never give up on yourselves."

The cincher has to be when Optimus Prime, hero of our childhood, shooting an unarmed, injured, elderly opponent point blank in the back of the head, then TURNS HIM over so he can point blank shoot him in the face then stand proudly in front of a ruined cityscape with an American flag waving in the background. It's like a scene from Team America with robots.

Just such a bad, bad, bad, bad film...
