Best movie of 2007!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2007)

Best movie of 2007 is a bit of a drastic title to give a film -- especially when 2007 hasn't even ended yet -- but nothing, in my opinion, has matched Transformers, and I don't anticipate anything coming that close for a long time.
I have some things I have to admit right away. Growing up, I was never a Transformers fan. Now, I must have watched at least ONE episode because I went into the theater knowing exactly who Megatron and Optimus Prime were (Of course, that could have just been because of good advertising). Secondly, I've never been a fan of sci-fi and/or action movies. But in the same way that Taylor Swift won me over to country by her sweet melodies, Transformers stole my heart.
It's a movie that I don't think anybody will be disappointed with. As little as possible CGI was used, but what CGI WAS used meshed VERY well with the live action. The characters were very well developed. Of every moment of every second, I was on the edge of my seat. Hell, I think that even despite the mild sexual humor and swearing that was used, EVERYBODY could enjoy this film.
All in all, a lot of films these days are half-assed. They are good ideas put into good scripts that produce good movies. GOOD. Not GREAT. Transformers, on the other hand, was FANTASTIC. GREAT JOB!
