Stunning

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2008)

Transformers: a humble children's toy. Transformers: a cartoon show. Transformers: one of the greatest theater experiences I have ever had. When I heard that they were making a Transformers movie, I thought the same thing that I thought about a lot of other recent movies: What the heck are they doing wasting their time with this movie? Then I saw the trailer and I changed my mind. I knew I had to see this movie when I saw a jet plane fly under a bridge, transform, grab onto the bridge, and throw itself into the air. I went to see this with my friend who had already seen it two times.
I truly was amazed. Though the story line was a little shaky and the shots were a little confusing, they were outweighed by the best special effects I had ever seen and the most edge-of-your seat action I had ever witnessed. In addition to Transformers becoming the coolest-looking movie I had ever seen, it was one of the funniest also, which was a big surprise.
Sure there were some plot holes and sure this movie was completely unrealistic, but its lack of realism made it that much more believable. All I have to say is "Bring on Transformers 2!"
