Love it, hate it-no way anyone can say it was not entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2007)

Movies like Transformers are a double edged sword. On the same list as all superhero films, avant garde films like Pulp Fiction or Brokeback Mountain, or straight family films like Shrek or any Pixar film, you either love em or hate em. My husband is a huge fan of the cartoon-I am a product of the 80's and always watched "My Little Pony" and "Strawberry Shortcake". Transformers was for boys. I never watched it but I knew who a few of the characters were.
I didn't expect much from the film-I thought Michael Bay, bad actors, cheesy lines and pretty good effects. I really underestimated it. Actors were good, not many cheesy lines, effects "off the hook" ( i never use that word). You've never seen effects like this before. Un-freaking-believable.
Love it or hate it, just see it truly to be entertained. Most people expect films to change the world, I go to escape reality. Get your mind on something else for 2 & 1/2 hours. Best film of the summer next to "Knocked Up"
