entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2007)

I grew up watching Transformers on and off. I knew who the good and bad guys were, but I never got the whole plot of the cartoon series. To me, it was just a cartoon with vehicles that can turn into robots and forever fighting. It was mostly dreary (to me). After all, what would you expect out of a girl who was clearly more interested in watching Tom and Jerry?
Watching this movie found me in a theatre full of children that got me puzzling if they even knew that there was a cartoon called Transformers. The plot of the movie was entertaining, funny and mostly flawless. However, I guess most of the humour was lost on children too young to even understand the dialogue.
The graphics were lovely, the cars lovelier still. The movie actually got me interested in wanting to know what comes next and rooting for the characters. To sum it up, I was kept at the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie.
If there is to be a sequel, I look forward to it, minus the children.
