More than meets my expectations

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2007)

I'll admit, I had my doubts. Being that I'm younger and only met transformers through Beast Wars, I didn't know much about them. As soon as the video game for this movie came out, however, I was hooked. I went to the theater excited already, because most ads said July 4th, some said the 3rd, and I found a theater on the 2nd. From the opening scene, I was glued. I'm the type of person to seek out CGI errors and jumps, and all the little kinks every movie has. Whether it was the expert special effects or the overbearing fascination with the movie, I don't know, but I could not find anything substantial. This movie stepped it up where many others fell short. This was my "summer at the movies". My first of two complaints is that there was not enough close range fighting between transformers, however this is understandable. The second is that I have to wait until 2009 to see Michael Bay's movie adaptation of "Prince of Persia".
