I’m pretty sure that’s how you’ll feel after watching this movie.
Finally, A script where Michael Bay’s explosive talents can be used to their full extent.
This is joke, right?
a joke*
Unless you prefer reading my original post in a foreign accent.

Also mentioned: a monopoly movie
I don’t like the Monopoly idea.. Mouse Trap might be a better choice.
They need to make a pacman movie.
