I don't understand

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2008)

OK so heres the low down on Transformers, its a big budget action flick about Robots in disguise who have come to earth in search of the "Allspark" which gives them life. There's two factions, the heroic Autobots and the Evil Decepticons, one tries to save humanity the other destroy it. Simple? Yes Boring and uninvolved? No.
I cannot believe some of things I've read about this film, yes its two hours of explosions and fights but what were we expecting here? This film is a rip roaring adventure that allows the viewer to suspend all reality and escape from the world for a bit. To sit there and say "how do the parents not see 20ft tall robots in there back yard", is frankly as stupid as the film that is being called stupid! Its a film, an action film which by its very nature requires the audience to suspend there belief of reality and take things as they are, which is a big ask for some I know. Not all films need to be realistic with character expansion and all the other film making ideas used in films such as Taxi Driver.
Now i'm no film buff, I can admit that but I know what I like and I think transformers is great fun, good characters not to taxing on the brain and it also features a great musical score! So to all those who read the "awful, disaster" reviews here I ask you give it a chance, give anything a chance once for that matter, you might find your self pleasantly surprised.
But REMEMBER suspend all belief in reality first, then and only then sit back and enjoy a great film that asks very little but gives so much!
