The BEST Action Movie of the Summer is Finally Here!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2007)

Well, I grew up with this whole series, and I'm proud to say that I'm glad I stuck with them throughout all of these years! As much as I loved their first big screen adventure, they have evolved into a tremendous action extravaganza! Sure, there were a few flaws, and the toilet humor could have been bagged; however, the excellent military footage made me proud to be an American! And the TRUE stars of the movie were my beloved Transformers! It was a great honor to hear Peter Cullen taking the mantle of the illustrious leader of the Autobots. He has practically patented that line, "One shall stand; one shall fall!"(The same line he used 21 years ago. I must further congratulate the writers for finally making a story that doesn't require Optimus Prime getting knocked off in order to achieve victory! ILM never disappoints, as usual, with the constant in-your-face special effects. These aliens were so real that I had to check my truck before getting into it when the movie was over! Even with Michael Bay directing, this epic has earned a sequel. I sure wouldn't mind if they show less humans and more Transformers, with the exception of the military hardware, of course! Either way, it looks like the "Robots in Disguise" has started a real gem of a franchise this time. Let's all hope it continues to accelerate!
