Michael Bay is a blockbuster genius

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2009)

Transformers 2 does exactly what most fans go to see it for, it pits robot against robot on the big screen. It's an all-action explosion fest, directed by the king of over the top summer blockbusters, that turn out to be a funny, action packed flick. The CGI through out the film is top notch, one of best examples in the sci-fi genre in my opinion. the storyline, although has been largely set out for the writers due to the movie being based on a comic book series, is good quality and perfect for this type of summer blockbuster. uncomplicated, humorous and action-filled. Scenes between Meg Fox and Shia Le beuf are acted with affection and this clearly shows on screen, again, we haven't paid money to see a RomCom so the number of intimate scenes are adequate for the genre. The whole Transformers experience boils down to one thing, at the end of the day, visiting the cinema to see giant robots kick the C**p out of each other, and that they do in style. Michael Bay's portrayal of the epic battles that take place are well put together and give the audience what they are asking for. Overall this is a great movie, not there to grip the audience with a compelling storyline that deals with deep human emotion, one that shows of the wonders of CGI and gives us an epic war between giant robots. Michael Bay is a great director for the genre, and will no doubt keep making them in the future, and as much as everyone will slag him and transformers off, let's see how many of you are there to see the next one aye?
