surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2008)

This movie was surprisingly good. I had no expectations whatsoever and left off watching it for months and months. And months. Finally came round to seeing it and it was actually very good. Perhaps not plotwise, but hey let's be fair, that's not what you're looking for in a film like Transformers. It was funny in the right moments, the special effects were spectacular, and Megan Fox is a fox. What bugged me was the introduction speech that Optimus gave of the Autobots, it really didn't sit well with the tone of the movie. But that's just a minor glitch and easily forgiven. Lots of good chase and action, not a dull moment and a nice set of actors with a quirky as ever John Turturro standing out in minor role. Watch and be pleasantly surprised.
