Transformers transforms movies

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2007)

*Not really a spoiler*
Before entering the theater, I didn't allow myself to think this movie was going to be anything more than a summer movie flick with cheesy acting and graphics that don't even seem to do justice to a film of this stature. But with out sounding childish, I was extremely surprised.
"Transformers" is without a doubt a film for those who want to see things explode and nerdy guys who get the hot girl. Shia LeBeouf is undoubtedly becoming a star on his own, especially with his breakout in "Disturbia". But "Transformers" just gives him that extra break.
From the get go, "Transformers" explodes with great action and stunning visuals. But after that amazing opener you'll soon be brought down to neutral. Acting becomes poor, with the exception of Mr. LeBeouf. We soon get to see the blank faced Megan Fox, who might I add is just beautiful. The chemistry between the two is there but it seems like its forced.
There also seems to be a peculiar amount of stupidity in the movie. Come on people. Why in the world would you bring a cube, the center of attention, into the middle of the city?! How in the world can the Transformers learn to speak through the internet yet the Decepticon leader can speak perfect English without coming anywhere near the internet? Please, lets be real to some extent.
"Transformers" is undoubtedly the hit of the summer. Explosion nuts will go crazy with all the realistic action. Computer geeks will flock to see robots that actually look like they are actual robots, not just something that was etched into the screen. Transformers is a summer movie that delivers. Lets just get past that its 144 minutes long.
