Pretty damn good. Will try not to spoil it...

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2007)

OK, so it's not that true to the original story and OK the transformers aren't similar to that of the cartoon. But I think making a movie in 2007 with a bunch of cars from the early 80's would've looked a bit crap to be honest... Come on, here's some sort of superior race of robotic beings from another galaxy but they decide they wanna stay looking like (for one) a rusty old Volkswagon Beetle from the 70's? Lets face it, this story was going to need to be brought 20 years down the track or it'd have looked dated. Well I think anyway.
I think this is a great film. It has everything a film like this is supposed to have - humour, a bit of cheese, some epic orchestral music, plenty of action, a little eye-candy, no weird hero- gone-emo sequence (sorry Spiderman 3) but most importantly the never-gets-old battle between good and evil. And it does it all well, after the first joke I thought to myself 'Ah oh.... please don't ruin this movie with crappy comedy' and yet 5 minutes later I found myself laughing along with the whole cinema. I'm a cynical person at the best of times but this movie did everything it should of, did it pretty well and most importantly, reminded me of how friggin cool Transformers really are.
Ever since the possibilities of CGI cinema have been apparent to me, this was the movie I hoped they'd make and I for one am not disappointed. By all means go and see it to decide for yourself but as some one who loved the toys and watched the show when I was old enough to understand it but young enough to not fully appreciate it, I really loved it.
