Now don't get me wrong; I remember the Transformers. I also remember the Go-Bots and Weebulls. However I just didn't think I would ever type these words: This Movie Was Awesome. In a Summer filled with sequels and unoriginal plots, I wasn't expecting much from this outing about kids toys on the big-screen. Michael Bay has made me rethink my first-impression pejudice.
The film is right up there with Independence Day. You remember the Will Smith sci-fi spectacular? Both films are equally as entertaining and pretty similar. Both are about the impending doom coming to Earth. Both have the Government hiding a secret. Both took a mediocre star (Will Smith) and changed the way we perceive him (Shia LaBeouf). Without ruining any of the film; it's pretty much your Doomsday Vehicle for Summer. With one exception: It's FUN! The Cars, the Bots, and the sets are amazing to look at. Each left me wanting another huge chase or battle to erupt. The scale at which the film takes place is just worth the ticket price.
If you are into the Transformers (kids or adults) I think you will feel that this movie has treated the characters on a grand-scale. However if your looking for true action Die Hard 4 is still showing. However I have to say this: This movie was far more entertaining and Optimus Prime never told Megatron "Yippie Kay Yae Mother!"
If you see one Transformer film this Summer make sure this is it. However I hear John Travolta gives the Auto-Bots a run for their money.
