I'm suffering from 'PTD'.
Yes, that's 'Post Transformers Disappointment'.
Could it be that I'd watched the trailers one too many times and expected too much? Who knows. That fact is, there are two films fighting each other here and the result is a big shiny mess which veers from incredibly entertaining to seat-chewingly awful.
The first movie is 'Independence Day with Robots'; all dark foreboding and mock-military jargon with cardboard cut-out characters and a line in terrible cheesey dialogue. Not bad per se, but frustrating when viewed against what it could have been. Because the second is 'Joss Whedon's Transformers'; great comic performances, quick-witted scripting, and postmodern in-jokes. Unfortunately, where the two clash, the film is head-scratchingly confusing; you could almost hear a team of writers shuffling around as they took turns at a page of the script.
For an action movie, even the visuals are disappointing, but not necessarily due to poor effects-work; at no point do you get to dwell on the robots. We are shaken around so much that we never see what these things actually look like! And the transforming effects everyone went to see are glossed over with frenetic direction and quick cuts. When the creatures go head-to-head, it is impossible to see what is happening. This is 'all mouth and no trousers' film directing - all very well when you're making Bad Boys II and you can still see what's going on, but this doesn't work when you're dealing with huge, complex alien robots fighting one another.
Am I being too critical? Maybe, but it's so much more frustrating when you can see an outstanding action movie trapped in there, struggling to get out. As time passes I can imagine becoming less tolerant of it, in the same way I've grown to dislike the big, noisy messes that were Spiderman 3, the Star Wars Prequels and so on.
I'm too old for this shit.

Last night I watched:
The Wicker Man - never seen it before, heard a lot about it, it lived upto the hype. Wonderfully creepy with a huge emphasis on the folk music.
Need I say more...
I also watched Jarhead. A great movie. Really enjoyed the angle that Sam Mendes presented the Gulf War in. Jake unpronouncable surname is a bloody good actor.
