The Decepticons are back and this time they‘re out to destroy the sun. Only Optimus Prime and Shia LaBeouf stand in their way
You can say what you like about Michael Bay‘s original Transformers. You can say it was dreadfully written. You can say it was horribly acted. You can say it was bogged down by bog-standard CGI. You can say it was little more than a series of explosions, each with less impact than the one before. And you‘d be right. But you could never say it was quiet.

This sounds like the most unimaginably terrible of catastrophes, but after 147 minutes in the company Megan Fox (who seems to straddle everything that enters her personal space) and Shia LaBeouf (apparently programmed to get under your skin), you‘ll be more than a little interested to see what shape such a disaster might assume. Oh and did we mention that the weapon capable of causing a permanent eclipse is buried beneath th
