Nero…
It wasn't really a role worthy of Bana.
This was a throwaway panto villain, there was no exploration of Nero's character.
There wasn't a great deal of acting. Have to clock this one up as Eric just turning up for the money.
Actually if they had extended the movie by an hour, to include more of the prequel Countdown you would have got to see the downfall of Nero, how he goes from being a hero to a nemesis.
After Nolan, Goyer and Nolan (Chris, David and Jonathan) crafted the twisted genius of Ledger's Joker last year in The Dark Knight, this is the polar opposite of a villain, he's just a thug with a ship.
Even worse for you guys who ain't read Countdown. If you ain't read that, the film really does cheat you with Nero.
Read Countdown, you can grab the CBRs for it from Torrent.
Actually this is the second time Orci and Kurtzman have done this. They did a prequel comic for Transformers which explained background to the film. They are wasting material here. If they included more of this material in the main film, extending its duration by 30 minutes say, it would complete things much better.
Sadly for Transformers2 I suspect it's going to be a rough ride. Orci and Kurtzman have done 2 prequel comics for it. More wasted material....
