A first for any "robot movie" Will pave the way for others

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2007)

Transformers has opened the doors for many filmmakers to come. The plot, which some have described as limping its way out the door was just perfectly paced with Shia at the helm. What can you ask for in a movie that has broken all barriers and set us up for a summer blockbuster. To me this movie is in the same family as Independence Day with an array of characters taking little bits and pieces of this film as their own. While some characters dwindled towards the end I think time constraints was one of the only factors in that regard.
If it was a 3 hour movie Bay might have been able to include more of a conclusion for those loose ends that left us hanging in the end. Overall there was nothing lacking in this movie. If you wanted an emotion and character driven movie go see Evening. If you want to see a fun action film that will have you ready to get right back in line to see it again see Transformers.
Speilburg's thumbprint was all over this film and it's good to see Bay actually flex his muscles and come out on top for once.
Now we can wait patiently for other filmmakers thinking about such live action movies like Gundam Wing and Escaflowne all inspired by manga and anime. This has truly shown the public not only can live action robots be done, but done well.
There was nothing campy about this movie, head out as soon as you can it's worth every red cent.
A homerun for Transformers I can't wait for the sequels.
