Okay, to be honest, I couldn't make it through the whole film. I knew what I was getting into at the start but I just couldn't take it anymore. I already felt desensitized and numb after the ridiculously long (20 minutes!?) opening sequence. The gore is over the top- like watching the worst of 'watch people die videos' for a few hours. There's almost zero character development, a bare minimum plot and very little on screen continuity- i know, what do we expect from Michael bay? Oh, and talk about product placement! It felt like one long, epic commercial. At one point a character says 'we have a BMW on our tail'- as if none of the other cars or motorcycles were worthy of the Alfa Romeo (I know it's was an alfa- the logo was prominently displayed so we all knew) I will say that there were some positives. The visuals and cinematography are stunning. Pure eye candy. Theres also an effort to make the genre feel new and 'fun' with the way it's presented.
