The story sees the Autobots and humans joining forces to defend themselves against a powerful force consisting of government agents and a new type of villain. Excessive fight scenes and frequent commercial insertions detract from the viewing experience.
2. Fantastic Four 2015，IMDB Rating: 4.3, IMDB Votes: 177954, ID: 1502712 Photo by bp.blogspot.com, is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 Fantastic Four is a superhero film that fails to live up to expectations, telling the story of four scientists who gain superpowers after an experimental accident.

Jack and Jill 2011，IMDB Rating: 3.3, IMDB Votes: 91077, ID: 0810913 Photo by persinsala.it, is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 Jack and Jill is a painfully unfunny comedy that showcases Adam Sandler at his worst. He plays Jack and Jill, twin siblings with very different personalities, in the film. The film focuses on a series of absurd events that occur between the two after Jill visits her brother Jack.

The two lead actors are not bad, but the lacklustre script and deliberate slapstick effects leave the audience feeling embarrassed rather than delighted.
