The real nightmare is the tragic lack of creativity in this new look of one of the genre's greatest characters.

It's the Bay touch you feel in the way actors register as body count, characters go undeveloped, and sensation trumps feeling. A nightmare, indeed.

I still like the characters from the first film, and these kids were cardboard shadows of them.
