Exactly what you'd expect a big screen version of Transformers to be.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2010)

I have great news: even Michael Bay couldn't run a movie about giant robots fighting each other. Though he did give it his best effort in Transformers 2.
Transformers is a fun blend of action and humor. The action never fails to impress. Some of the most beloved Transformers were lovingly created on-screen for this movie, and it's just fun to see them changing forms and actually doing the cool stuff that countless boys all over the world once had them doing in their imaginations. The explosions, special effects, and computer-generated robots are all a joy to behold.
The humor only occasionally strays into territory that's too childish for even the kids that are a large part of the targeted audience. Most of the time, there are genuine laughs to be had to break up the long action set pieces. Shia Lebouf is a funny and likable protagonist, and pairing him with Megan Fox resulted in a pair of reasonably good central characters. This movie isn't really about the human characters, anyway. It's about the robots. And if you're a fan of Transformers, action, CGI wizardry, or all three, you're probably going to be as pleased with this as I was.
