One helluva roller-coaster ride...

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2007)

To someone who watched Transformers as a kid..but by no stretch of the imagination has it MEMORIZED..this was a great rendition of the 'robots in disguise'.
The Transformers themselves were incredible!! The speed at which they transformed and the camera work made it a little dizzying to watch at times but that was all part of the ride...the effects were truly amazing...fantastic fight scenes..especially when the Autobots and the Decepticons go at one another..with humans just trying to stay out of the madness!! Shia was great..an excellent human element in the movie..his folks were also priceless as comic relief...Turturro wasn't at his best..but I find that he is a bit of a hit and miss actor..
Overall a total roller-coaster ride that had me hooting and hollering in the theatre..definitely will watch this again!!
