Michael Bay finally delivers a hurray

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2007)

Way too many popcorn movies lately has been suffering from the fact that they're simply too long, Transformers is another one joining that party, but it falls in the tomb of those still delivering an impressive show, Transformers combining stunning action sequences with surprisingly fine comedy it may just be Michael Bay's finest movie so far.
The greatest gags drawn are mostly between the nerdy boy and the sexy girl, but the amusement is high as the robots have got an irony and humor that gives the movie a great, extra push. And although it's far from revolutionary, it's impressively entertaining throughout its running time. The CGI-effects are great, especially the final showdown between the good and evil robots, dueling heavily in the streets as its clearly the movie's most showcasing scene as one robot after the other do a kamikaeze jump. Transformers is just pure popcorn and pure fun, and its also one of the finest show-casings of that genre so far this year.
