An "A" For Effort

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2007)

"Transformers" is everything I expected it to be: funny, silly, technically spectacular and... juvenile.
If you expect this movie to be anything other than a hot-rodded Saturday morning cartoon, then this movie is not for you. Mostly Transformers is loosely tied, effortlessly predictable, stereotypical and has no real sense of a story line. The characters and actors merely ride along with us in our chairs as the action roars by.
The whole point of Transformers though is to be a great Saturday morning cartoon, and Michael Bay has the flare to do it well. I am really glad I saw this movie, you should absolutely watch it if you are a fan. If you are looking for depth though, stay away.
