This is what a fun, entertaining, over-the-top, two hours (2:24) at the movies should be like. Bombastic? Yes. Cheesy? Of course. This movie is based on a cartoon and a bunch of toys - it's FUN. Shia La Beouf is great. The rest of the cast is very good. Who cares about the goofs (they are always fun to detect anyways). The soundtrack is powerful, and the rest of the audio is superb. The humor is lighthearted, and yet the battle scenes are wicked. Every time the robots transform I could hear gasps from the audience. The sound they make during their transforming has elements from the cartoon, just like the transporters in the Star Trek movies resembled the TV Series. Very cool. See it. Enjoy it. Laugh and cheer with it.
