How Shia(t) is Shia LaBeouf?


This guy used to be cool. Back when I was a young boy, Shia LaBeouf was one of my favourite actors. There was a good reason for this. That reason was Even Stevens. This was a Disney channel show in which LaBeouf was the star. He played Louis Stevens, who was, by far, the best character on the show. The show was funny, and it was all because of Louis. He was goofy, and a lot of fun. LaBeouf played him very well. That show aired for only three seasons, but they were three good ones.



The next place that I saw this guy was in Holes. This was a movie that I was looking forward to, as I had read the books, and it did not disappoint. It was very good, and I think it put LaBeouf on the map (he was the lead). This was where it began to go wrong for me though. If this movie put this guy on the map then I wish it hadn't. That may seem harsh, but fuck it, I don't care. This is what lead to Shia LaBeouf being in a number of shitty movies over a two or three year period, and that was unforgivable.

The first of these crap-tacular movies was Transformers, and the sad thing is, this is one of the better movies I'm going to talk about. The action was good and all, and I liked Optimus Prime, but I hated every human in that movie. The characters were paper thin, and LaBeouf's one was downright annoying. I could have forgiven this movie, though, if LaBeouf hadn't help destroy one of my favourite movie franchises, Indiana Jones. I mainly blame Lucas and Spielberg for that piece of shit, but Shia was involved so I have to deduct even more points from him.


The sequel to Wall Street that he was in was also shit, but all of these pale in comparison to the horror show that was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This is up there with my least favourite movies of all time. The first one had some redeeming qualities, but this one amplified everything that I hated about the original. Shit characters, shit comedy, and absolutely zero depth. Michael bay really fucked it up, and Shia's career took a bit of a hit. I have no problem with that except for the fact that I think he could genuinely become a good actor.

Hwever, right now, he is Just Shit.
