Far Exceed Expectation

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2007)

When I came to the cinema to watch this movie, I honestly didn't have any expectation. I came only looking for a pure entertaining movie. And I know Michael Bay is the right director who can deliver "pure entertainment".
Having seen all the Blockbuster movies of the summer (Spiderman 3, POTC :At World End and FF 4 :Rise of the silver surfer), I expect this might be just another brainless action pack CGI flick.
But I was wrong. From the beginning till middle and the end of the movie, I was hanging at the edge of my seat. This movie really blows me away. And for the first time in long time, I've heard spectator applauding for a scene. The last time I've heard it dated back 20 years ago with the movie "The Untouchables".
With all the special effects and CGI of the movie nowadays we thinks that we have seen it all. But this movie really set a new standard. The robots look pretty real and smooth. The action scene look quite realistic.
As for the storyline this movie also have a very weak and unrealistic one like the other blockbuster movies. Anyway what do you expect from Michael Bay? An Oscar winning storyline?
There are many funny moments in the movie, which I thinks it's good so we don't get too intense. The lead actor & actress really give their best performance. Not just mediocre one like we've seen in many science fiction movies.
This movie is enjoyable for all ages and also for people who never knew the Transformer franchise.
I'm not a fan of the Transformer TV Cartoon Series but this movie makes me want to know the franchise more. A good job well done by Michael Bay.
