A blockbuster of the year 2007, undeniably.

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2008)

Screenplay 8/10 The conversation of this movie is indeed funny and clever. Actually better than some of the comedies I have seen. Yet this movie didn't turn up like a comedy. When you are watching it, you feel like you are watching a action movie. And it's really difficult to combine this two elements (funny conversation and exciting fighting scene) together well at a same movie. Anyhow, the funny conversation also shows the friendly relationship between the autobots and the humans.
Camera 10/10 As many people have agreed, the special effects are excellent here in Transformers. The entire film was pretty much showing the robots fighting, transforming and traveling, and not even one second people could tell the robots are computer generated. Especially when Optimus Prime picked up Sam Witwicky's grandfather's glasses, that smooth and careful movement was unbelievably good.
Storyline 6/10 I do agree that the story can be better developed. Maybe more about the transformers' history would be good. Just so that the audiences can understand the background better and then be able to get into the film more. Also agree that there are too many advertisements in this film, all the cars...you would know if you have seen it.
Entertainment 8/10 This film is entertaining, it makes people sitting on the edge of their chairs for most of the time. And with the funny quotes that people will talk and laugh about them again and again. It is totally a 2.5 hours relaxation. A great film to watch together with friends and family.
Acting 8/10 The acting of Shia LaBeouf was very good. He fully reflected a miserable teenage boy in every aspects. Megan Fox, however, was rather wooden in my opinion, in some of the scenes. She does have a very sexy body, I believe sh can become a very successful actress if she works on her emotion more.
Overall: 8/10
