More than meets the eye...

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2007)

Transformers is a movie that makes you go "WHOA!" when you first see it. When you calm down from the high you come to realise that in the end "it is just an action movie". But a very good action movie none the less.
Fans of the toy-line and cartoons series should be proud. Michael Bay has brought us a formidable adaption with the best CGI money can buy and crunched out a story that isn't too corny for the average viewer and which also combines great action and special effects with tons of silly humour which prevents the film, in all its massiveness, from becoming horrifically dull.
The film also has a well executed human-story, but by the end of it you kinda realise that this stuff was really intended for the kids. None the less, Transformers is a formidable piece of cinema, not a life-changing movie, but one that both kids and parents ought to like.
Transformers have arrived.
