Transformers exceeds expectations

Rating: 3/10 (1 August 2007)

A few short weeks ago I only associated Transformers with some sort of action figures my older brother played with when we were kids. So originally when I heard they were making a real life movie about this comic series I had not inclination to see it. But when a lot of my friends and family raved over the movie including the storyline and special effects I decided to check it out. Going into the movie I did not have high expectations and would have laughed if someone predicted that I would leave the theater with such an appreciation for talking robots sent to earth. Yet I found myself almost crying over Bumblebee and wanting to go by an Optimus Prime when I left. The script and storyline were great as they were directed at the older audience who grew up with these endearing robotic heroes.
