Impressive

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2007)

I must admit I wasn't expecting anything much out of this movie. After seeing failures such as Fantastic Four, for instance, I've come to the conclusion that most comic-based movies fail to deliver. While you certainly cannot expect a twisting storyline, you can expect a catching movie - especially the fighting. It's mainly an action-entertainment movie, and while I usually dislike the normal boom-boom action-type movies with no regard for a decent plot whatsoever, I *did* enjoy Transformers as I can only describe it as 'cool'.
There are subtle details that I also enjoyed, for instance Bumblebee's gesturing and some various comments. Overall I enjoyed this movie, and I was impressed - however, you shouldn't try and take it all that seriously, I, myself, was laughing through some of the scenes (though the younger audience seemed to absorb them with full seriousness) and the fighting scenes, particularly due to the transformers' superiority over humans. If you decide to see this film, go watch it while it's still in the theater.
