Definitely more than meets the eye.

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2007)

I wasn't overly hopeful for this movie. I was wrong, Transformers was the summer event movie we had all been waiting for. Stunning effects, awesome action sequences and more laughs than I was expecting. Transformers really exceeded my expectations. Now there were problems, the Transformers were flat characters and the Decepticons were not developed beyond snarling villains. Also if you are going to kill one of the iconic autobots you need to give the audience some investment in the character so they care. But these are really quite minor complaints and there was so much more to be happy about in this film which eclipsed these problems and with three Decepticons left running around there is more than enough potential for a sequel. This wasn't my Generations Transformers but I'm good with that.
