WAY More Then Meets The Eye

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2007)

There have been several movies that have changed my idea of thinking of the film business. King Kong and Lord of the Rings being some of them. Transformers is one of those movies, but for a different reason. When I saw the teaser trailer at Pirates of the Caribbean last year I laughed. The idea seemed absurd, but the finished product was spectacular. I not only was blown away by the action, but i was amazed at how awesome Michael Bay made a movie about a toy aimed for 8 year olds (sorry Transformers fans.) The humor was genuinely laughable. The characters (for the most part) were well written and the special effects were ground breaking. Transformers deserves its 8 out of ten. I want to give it higher but if it did i would be putting this movie with the likes of The Godfather or Return of the King and that just doesn't seem to fit.
