Speaking of, I love hot British chicks, but she managed to be nearly as useless as Megan Fox.
The entire bit where Sam gets a job as a mailboy, "impressing" this tough-as-nails boss who runs a compay in a fashion that would make Hitler cringe was horrible. From the creepy, over-the-top Asian loser to the bad homophobic jokes and said boss later turning into some sniveling wimp that Pulp Fiction's Gimp would have dominated.
And then, halfway though, it turned into Battle: Chicago and Shia's character does a hero transformation even less believable than Emilio Estevez in Judgement Night.
Just a horrible movie all around.

Haters gonna hate. Just kidding...
But one thing I HAVE noticed about this movie, people will either enjoy it for what it is or absolutely hate it with a passion and pretty much nothing could change their minds about it.
All the awkward humour, the type of acting used, Shia for example...you really have to be invested into that to enjoy it, otherwise you'll get the reaction that you received. Just annoying, boring and could have done much better.
I wasn't a big fan of the 2nd movie but I loved the third movie when I tempered my expectations, it really did impress IMO.
