I was a fan as a kid, and I am not disappointed by the movie.

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2007)

During the whole buzz that no one could miss leading to the opening, I thought "Oh, not another comics-turned-into-movie! Where will they stop?!?" But I saw the previews last week and was instantly hooked. So I went to see it on the big screen, the day it opened here in Shanghai (yesterday). Well, I have to admit, I am looking forward to seeing it again. See, it's so full of details, it's so fast, it's so OUT THERE, special FX are rich and seamless, I just couldn't take everything in. Plus, I hadn't been to a movie theater in more than 7 months, so I was really blown away. I was a fan as a kid, and I am not disappointed by the movie. The Transformers and Hasbro have definitely secured the next generation's follow up. On a down note, watching the movie, I kept thinking "Any second now, they're going to show a larger-than-life US banner floating in the wind" ... Sure, it wasn't as thick as in other films of the same caliber. So I finally gave it an 8...
