This movie has a lot of problems. I couldn't follow what was going on
with the action half the time, Carly is a complete non-character, and
Sam's an unlikeable jackass. The plot has more holes than a slice of
Swiss cheese.
You also have the
awesome (not) hour-long action sequence at the end again. I thought they
would've learned their lesson from the last one: no one wants to sit
through that much. Break it up into a couple of battles or something.
Fortunately,
none of those things really matter to a movie like this, and I loved it
anyway. We have Josh Duhamel, the name "Witwicky," Sam's parents, John
Malkovich, Wash, Patrick Dempsey doing something unexpected, and several
genuinely funny scenes.
It ends on a completely false triumphant "happily ever
after" note - nothing has changed in Sam's life and he's still got all
the exact same problems he started out with.
