best movie in years!!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2008)

this is easily one of the best movies i have ever seen. a lot of people have been negative about it but i can honestly say i don't understand where the huge problem is. or those people themselves. what a sad life they must really lead. i think it is excellently paced and intelligently written given the source material. and going into this movie expecting Shakespeare just confirms that you're not all there, are you? i'm a transformers fan, and while i still adore transformers, in my older age i can see faults in the old TV shows. but i honestly thought this eliminated all those faults, they really put a lot of effort in here and applied plenty of verisimilitude to the situation. i read a lot of people complain about the military being involved? as if they wouldn't be involved! thats what would happen. i was so glad the human characters were written so that they're not taken too seriously, it was nothing like American pie, the funny situations in between were perfectly paced and played through extremely well, the first time i saw it, at certain moments in the film i laughed out loud, and i never do that at the movies. therefore, it works. and then there's the action, i still get goosebumps now. the cgi is flawless. the optimus prime in this is now easily my favourite version of optimus prime. its funny, as i write this review i think, i'm starting to sound like a giddy kid. and that, is the greatest thing that was achieved here, making me feel like a kid again. i just want to hug everyone involved in the making of this film. surpassed my expectations.
