Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2019)

This was the dark horse of 2007. Nobody expected this to breakout like it did, but I think they underestimated the fanboys out there. Michael Bay delivers a good film, not a great film, but by his standards it's not bad. The action scenes are incredible, and that final hour is incredible to watch. Say what you will about Michael Bay but all his films look incredible. The story isn't grand and the character's can be quite annoying. The reason we're here is the action and to that point, it works. The series never reached these heights again, but this first film is well worth checking out.
