Shia LaBeouf Hated Transformers 2

Shia LaBeouf "hated" Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

The 23-year-old actor, who played Sam Witwicky, admits the sequel was "confused" and he often didn't know what was happening on set.

The sci-fi action-adventure was voted as worst film of the year at the 2010 Golden Rasberry Awards (read our 2-star review here), and 9th worst film ever by NZers in film poll done by us.

LaBeouf said: "There are a lot of people that liked the second one, but I hated it. I just didn't enjoy it. I thought we missed the mark. I got confused, I couldn't see what the f**k was going on, you know with certain robots... I couldn't decipher what was happening."

Despite all this, LaBeouf reckons the forthcoming third instalment will be a big improvement (This is also despite Megan Fox calling director Michael Bay a social retard – perhaps those paychecks are just too alluring).

LaBeouf thinks the second film suffered as a result of the strike by Hollywood writers: "We were making our second movie in the middle of the writers' strike. We had no script. We had to work with nothing. We literally had like 40 pages. And everything was sort of made on the fly.

Transformers 3 will be opening on July 1, 2011.
