This movie is awesome

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2007)

I go to the movies to be entertained. And this movie entertained me... a lot.
Don't listen to all these people who are railing on the movie and decrying Michael Bay. The bottom line is that it is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. If you're just a regular person, who knows that you don't go to see a movie about machines from outer space that turn into giant killing robots for the enchanting dialogue and brilliant complex plot then you will enjoy the movie a lot. Unlike a time-period, sensitive piece like "Pearl Harbor," which Bay mutilated, this is right in Bay's wheelhouse.
And if you are upset that this movie was not true to the original cartoon series, you have to get over it - that was like twenty years ago, and if it troubles you that much, then you're probably a pretty big loser. Sorry to break it to you. There are new cartoons out now that you could probably get into that won't be adapted to cinema for a while.
The bottom line is that this movie has everything I'm looking for out of a Hollywood summer movie - great action, hot chicks, and a surprising amount of humor. I was pleasantly surprised by Shia Lebouf, who going into it was my number one concern about the flick. Anyway, if you like movies for the escapism and aren't a Transformers nerd, you need to see it right now.
