Love and hate relationship.

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2009)

Transformers, whether you love it or hate, is a somewhat decent film but could've been a lot better had the direction and writing been a little more fleshed out and coherent. True there are some great action scenes but they all (once again) suffer from that tried and tested "MTV style" editing that makes it so hard to appreciate the action. I can name many sci-fi action films that have much better action scenes than Transformers but I'm not going to as I felt I should keep this review short and sweet as others have pointed out the many flaws in this film; some of which I will list here. Having just seen the second film a week ago, I'm just gonna say this one was much better than the second one, why? Well, I just feel that this one has a much better focus on the story,not that there's really is a story to begin with, but it just jived with me for some unknown reason. I don't know, but I just feel this one is much better. On that note, Transformers is not as bad as the second one but Revenge of the Fallen was the pits as far as I'm concerned. If you seen the first film and are eager to see the second, then go ahead but I rather see Transformers again (on DVD) then revisit ROTF. Not good or bad, just "okay".
Final note: I hope they replace Michael Bay with the third film and get the writers from the "Beast Wars" series. MUCH better than Orci and Kurtzman 100%.
