this movie was fine...

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2007)

This movie was fine... It deviated far too much from the original transformers concepts for me to really enjoy it. It could have easily been just a war movie, with the occasional giant robot. The special effects and acting were on par with most movies of a similar budget. If you're just looking for an action movie, you'll probably enjoy this. If you're a die hard fan, you'll want to see it so that you can complain about what they've done. This film is basically plagued by the same pitfalls as many video game and TV show to film translations; The filmmakers have banked on name recognition to bring credibility to a movie that bears little resemblance to it's original inspiration.
