Far More than Meets the Eye

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2007)

Michael Bay has outdone himself, and may not be able to do this great until "Transforers II."
Overall, the movie was pleasing to Transformers fans, and non. I appreciated the use of the "transforing sound effect" but not an over use of it. The references to the original 1984 movie were great; "Autobots, roll out"; Megatron's relationship with Starscream; and to take the cake, when Megatron and Optimus Prime meet, the immortal line, "One shall stand, and one shall fall." Peter Cullan as Prime was amazing, and could not have been any other way. This movie was extremely pleasing to me, as I have followed Transforers all of my life.
But, what makes this movie pleasing to non-Transforers fans? I'm about to tell you.
The special effects in this movie were amazing. If there is anyone out there who likes explosions and giant robots duking it out, or just an old fashioned good versus evil film, this is your movie. The movie was also quite comedic, which was great. The cinematography was excellent, especially in the robot fight sequences.
As a devout Transformers fan, and also a movie lover, I rate this movie at 10 out of 10; 10 of 10 in special effects; 10 of 10 in story; 10 of 10 in action; 10 of 10 in directing. I strongly suggest this movie for anyone, and I mean anyone, because it appeals to all interests.
"Autobots, roll out!"
