"Autobots, roll out!"

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2007)

After seeing the trailers, reading up on the net and discussing with my colleagues, I was convinced this was MY kinda movie: Action, and sci-fi. I was totally convinced this was a great movie. After five minutes my expectations were already met and then some. When the movie was over I was grinning like a moron - action (OK, GREAT action), sci-fi (and actually - umm - "convincing" plot) - and (surprise!!!) great humor! So, some robots transformed to other vehicles and some robots did not transform at all into what they did in the the TV series - but so what? The series was a kid's show from the eighties and we are now in an entire new century! Michael Bay gave the Transformers a much needed upgrade. The IBM PC was running MS-DOS when the first Autobot and Decepticon revealed themselves on TV, and nobody had even heard about Internet until well after the original Transformers series ended. Some could not transform because of legal issues - and some items looked just plain dumb in 2007.
I just have to agree with Steven Spielberg: "Michael Bay was born to make Transformers"
