Pure entertainment, but don't look too deep.

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2007)

To the people who are saying this is the best movie they've ever seen: You need to see more movies. Seriously.
And to the people who are saying this is the worst movie they've ever seen: Again, you need to see more movies, because if you've never come across anything worse than this, you clearly don't watch very many.
The story in general is pretty cheesy and very clichÃ©d - the hot girl who goes out with the superficial hunk but then dumps him for the nerdy hero because there's "more to her than meets the eye", the evil secret agent chaps, determined to stick to the rule-book, the die-hard soldiers with the "be brave! you're a soldier now kid!" speech... all that. But don't lay into how silly that story is if you're going to defend the story of the transformers, which is, let's face it, pretty stupid to begin with. "Our world was created by a powerful artifact, then destroyed by the evil robots who want to use it's power for evil, so we threw it into space to stop them, now we've come here to stop them again because we're the awesome good robots, defenders of mankind"... oh please.
At this point, you might be thinking I hated the movie, but you'd be wrong - it was awesome entertainment. The transformers are great, the action scenes are great, the music is great, Megan Fox is a fox (ahahaha like that pun hasn't been done a million times already), the nerdy-bloke-wins-fair-lady's-heart story is feel-good fun, there's plenty of laughs. Just take it as it is - light-hearted entertainment - and don't look too deeply, because it's not trying to be a deep film.
