I am starting to like Michael Bay

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2007)

I watched Transformer yesterday (I am Swiss Italian and the movie opened here as world-premiere in Australia and Italy on Thursday, June 28th).
The movie totally blew me away from the beginning to the end. There wasn't a moment where I felt bored (and hey, that's not easy for a 144' movie!). First of all I can easily say Transformers in one of the best movie of Michael Bay (among them I put The Rock, Bad Boys 2 and The Island).
Not only action scenes are stunning but Bay also shows he can add first-rate humor to more quiet moments and dialogue sequences.
You'll never look to a car or a truck the same way you did before after watching Transformers.
Transformers will be a cult movie, that's for sure.
My best scene? There is one moment in the movie which glorificate Cinema and made me feel exalted: toward the end, during the city battle, when one Autobot jumps in slow-motion over a screaming woman to avoid collision with some guided missiles: you can also hear great background music of Steve Jablonsky. That was awesome!!
I am not a kid anymore but this movie really makes me feel happy and gratified. Ado
