The film was what it expected to be

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2008)

What was promised for the movie?
Stunning special effects: YES. That is what will impress you most.
For Transformers fans maybe it will be something more, but for all the others - just VERY good action movie.
Of course its plot is not something special, but you won't be worried about that and you won't be bored. It does not try to advance as sci-fi movie, it is more spectacle of high technological graphics.
Maybe you won't find it as epical as LoTR, but there was nothing more technological before!
About Michael Bay: Blockbusters are his forte, he deserves it ;)
The film won't disappoint anyone who values drive and action in movies.
