Love it, Love it, Love it

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2009)

Absolutely adore this, right from the very beginning. I know Michael Bay's got a hell of a reputation for making really long action films with hardly any story line and drawn out fight scenes (especially since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), but this is one film that he has done to perfection. This film has it all, a simple storyline (if not a little unbelievable but sometimes better than a complex one), brilliant special effects, a great cast in Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler and Billy Bob Thornton, all of whom are brilliant, and a great supporting cast including the likes of Owen Wilson. So its cheesy in places, but that's fine because the ending is truly emotional and frankly brilliant...
