An amazing movie with an amazing experience!

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2007)

I grew watching Transformers and playing it with my friends as a little kid in the school playground (I was always a Decepticon). When I saw the trailer for the very first time I was blown away at the special affects and saw my child hood cartoon characters bought to life - something in me said that this movie was going to rock but I have had my doubts since Spider-man 3 that was billed to be the biggest blockbuster of summer turned out to be an over-hyped let down. I am glad to tell you that Transformers was something that lived up to the hype!!! Right from the opening scene one is blown away from the awesomeness and power of these cybernetic organisms and once again you felt like a little child amazed by what unfolded in front you. CGI was definitely what made this movie and without it, its hard to imagine otherwise but it is absolutely amazing as you watching a massive robot turn its self into a fighter jet and back again. It was good to see all my old goodies like Optimus Prime with the correct voice from the cartoon series and an ultra cool paint job and the rest of the gang hanging about and certainly not to mention the bad guys who really meant business. The movie retained a comical tone all the way through with gags and wise cracks from everyone which was funny. The acting was great as all the actors really put it well with the interaction with the robots . My only complaint was that I felt everyone was a little too clued up on what to do and how to tackle the impending problems and he ending left a bit like eh? was that it ? But however I did remember things kicking off and shutting down very quickly on the cartoon series as well which is another reason for old time sake I let the cheesy one liners go. I would of also like to have seen some character development on other Autobots and Decpitcons because any Transformers fan will tell you that they each have their own personality thats why you gotta love them all !
Too conclude Transformers was a piece of childhood that I thought I would never see on the big screen but thanks to the modern wonders of CGI done correctly it was kind of like a dream come true , I would ask fans to go with other fans and those of have young kids of their own take them and share a piece of your childhood with them. Thank you Mr.Bay!
