A great start to the franchise

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2018)

Transformers is great start to the franchise with a sense of wonder and awe and a good balance of humour and spectacle. Sam Witwicky is a likeable human protagonist played excellently by Shia LaBeouf and John Turturro and Josh Duhamel are both really good. The CG is phenomenal and the Transformers designs are great. Peter Cullen is reliably perfect as Optimus Prime. Michael Bay's direction is incredible, resulting in some amazingly filmed and intense action sequences. The composed score by Steve Jablonsky is also incredible.
