Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2011)

This movie was a decent adaptation of the popular Transformers series. Now this movie certainly was strong in the effects department but the actors looked like they were struggling at times. Despite all this, they still had a strong plot overall, along with an all star cast. The movie starts off with a young Shia LeBeaouf as Sam, his goal at this point is to get an A in every class to get his first car and ultimately make it in society. Along with Megan Fox as his soon to be girlfriend. The story starts off somewhat slow, the car he buys from the dealership just happens to be Bumblebee, one of the Autobots. The story continues further as Sam eventually finds out the truth about his car and the Autobots vs Decepticons. The plot holds tight to the original series overall. The different Autobots are all forming to defeat the Decepticons and take down Megatron. I would have liked to see Hotshot instead of Bumblebee but thats my opinion. The creators really made a great interpretation and adaptation of Transformers. I had a few problems with this movie however. Number One would have to be the weight of these giant machines. Throughout the movie they seem to movie so gracefully, like their weightless. Sure one could argue that there rocket propulsion to make them seem weightless, but still it bothered me a bit which cost this movie a few points. The other problem I had was the size of the machines. In the series they were not at that large except for Optimus Prime and Megatron, their size held their significance. However in this movie they were quite large. But despite all of this it was still a decent action flick and I strongly recommend it for all the fans because its just Transformers at their best. Enormous, loud, and entertaining. If your not a fan I still recommend it. Its a great action flick that wont disappoint with its great special effects. So I give this a 70% because it appeals to the fans and pulls in some new ones as well.
