My childhood brought to life!

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2007)

To be fair, "Transformers" is not a masterpiece. It will probably never be classified as "culturally significant" or win awards for anything other than visuals.
And, at its heart, it is not much more than a 2 1/2 hour toy commercial.
But here's the thing- It's not really trying to be anything else. Michael Bay, rather than try to deny the cheesy and somewhat ridiculous background of this project has chosen to fully embrace Transformers at the core and the results, believe it or not, are DAMN. GOOD.
Breakthrough special effects are combined with Bay's trademark action sequences to bring the most beloved elements of our favorite toys to life at long last. Top it all off with Peter Cullen and you have a guaranteed blockbuster on your hands!!!!!
