Get Off Your Nerdy High Horses And Enjoy This For What It Is

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2007)

First And Foremost.. Get over the semantic details of the cartoon. People are going to hate on this movie for the same stupid reasons the hate on any conversion to the big screen.
Secondly, when watching the movie, enjoy as if it is a second child hood for you... Not a cynical critic. If you do both of these then I ensure you'll be extremely pleased with this movie.
The plot was well laid out and moved at a good speed without rushing or dragging. While it had a 'romance' throughout it wasn't over the top or forced, which a lot of movies tend to do.
The transformations were awesome, again, was just like reliving my child hood! They did this very well with them transiting from car/plane to robot.
The storyline itself was very well done, clearly set out, and was a great mix of comedy, action and "emotion".
All in all I think they did an excellent job of translating transformers to the big screen and live action, as I say if you've decided that you won't like it before you're even in the cinema don't bother, but otherwise this movie is well worth the viewing.
