Good family fun

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2007)

This was a non-stop action film from the very beginning. The explosions, car crashes, bombs, and loud noises come at a break-neck pace. Fans of Bay's style will not be disappointed. The action was punctuated with just enough comedy to keep things from getting too repetitive. Sure, there were parts that were a little corny, but I felt they were staying true to the original Transformers style. They were do-gooders who constantly uttered corny "save-the-world hero type" lines. This is kind of a love/hate film. Some kids behind me didn't like it and I get the feeling it was due to some of the corny lines. People unfamiliar with the original cartoon series may not get it, but for those of us over 35, it was a visit back in time. I really enjoyed this film.
