The best of 2007!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2007)

I was skeptical at first to see transformers as I thought it would just another nerdy sci-fi film. I must say though when I saw the film, it exceeded my expectations, it was the film that surprised me most this year. The only real aspect that drove me to the film was the director, Michael Bay as his previous films are awesome (Bad Boys 1 and 2, The Rock). Not only does the film feature gigantic transforming robots but it is action packed, with slices of humour and heroism especially from Josh Duhamel, it also features some famous faces (Jon Voight, Jon Tuturro and Anthony Anderson just to name a few) and also a sappy love story between the main character, the nerdy Sam Witwicky.
At first the idea of cars, trucks, planes etc transforming into giant alien robots was outrageous to me at first but the concept combined with explosive action sequences made this film all the more enjoyable. For those thinking that this movie is just a copy of the cartoon, it is not. Bay has transformed the cartoon into this highly action packed realistic looking film, that surely does entertain and will not leave an audience bored. If you fall asleep in this movie, you must be narcoleptic! Transformers is far from a kid's movie, although the story is originally a kid's one. It's clearly apart of the action/adventure genre. For all action fans it is a must see and even if your not and your just bored and want to watch a movie that provides many thrills this is also a movie for you. In my opinion this movie is a transformer of the action genre, probably the first movie since Die Hard (1988).
Definitely in my top 10!
