A 'Dialogue Delivery' Scene From 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'. Warning: No CGI or Robots. Just Dialogue. Horrible Horrible Dialogue. Wow...It's Bad

Oof. The critics warned us: Anything in 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' that isn't robots fighting/destroying Chicago is bad. Anytime people talk it's laughable. If it ain't CGI-driven, avoid at all costs. They weren't lying.

If this clip is any indication, might be best to avoid all but the 40-minute action/battle sequence that ends the film, which by all accounts is not only state-of-the-art but breathtaking...spellbinding. More than one observer has called it jaw-dropping.

This 'dialogue delivery' including Shia Lebeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, and Frances McDormand is bad. Painfully so. You want cover your eyes and peep through your fingers like when you were a kid and the late night movie monster was too scary to look at, except, here, you want to cover your ears because the dialogue being delivered is. Just. That. Damn. Poorly. Written.



Well, in its way that was pretty breathtaking.
