A Sci-Fi Masterpiece, The Best of the Trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2011)

Let me start by saying this film is the best in the Transformers trilogy, like most films in a series. This film set the standard for the films that followed it(Unfourtunately, the 2nd failed to meet these standards).
This film has what every summer blockbuster has; CGI, action, explosions,and romance. But, compared to other films like it, it has a good story, which I noticed was greatly criticized for having to much humans and not enough Transformers, which brings me to my first point. 1)The reason for humans and their deep involvement in the film is to acknowledge the fact that Transformers are on PLANET EARTH, which is the normal habitat for human beings, and if the events in this film were to happen, there would be a deep human involvement. 2)These criticisms are what brought films that some consider to be terrible because this films focused on the Transformers more and the humans less.
The run time is also a widely criticized element in the film. Some think 143 minutes is to long for a film with (supposedly) no or little story. 3)If this film were the appropriate run time for the lack of story it has been accused of having, there would be little room for the action which contributes to this films greatness.
Now,of course this film has it's flaws, but for me, their hard to point out. The major flaw I noticed was the highly unnecessary sexual humor, but this is to be expected in a summer blockbuster film. The second most noticeable (to me anyway)flaw was the main antagonists Megatrons late arrival in the film.
Let me say I am very nostalgic about this film. It brought me and my friends lots of good times.
Overall, this film is great with a somewhat predictable, yet somewhat surprising ending with Sam killing Megatron. If you haven't seen this film, I recommend you do,but remember, with all Transformers films, you need to know what to expect in order to like it. In Transformers, expect explosions, heavy CGI, incredible action, and a decent if not great story.
