First off I never write reviews, but after a friend (thanks Kevin!) managed to snag pre-screening tickets for myself and a few close friends, I feel I must.
Transformers was INCREDIBLE. The BEST and MOST ENJOYABLE movie I have paid to see since Batman Begins in summer 05. I have always been a Transformers fan, never a rabid die-hard one, but I watched the original series and had the toys etc. People are very critical of Michael Bay calling this film "Bayformers" and accusing him of ruining their childhoods etc. That is bogus, if anything this movie made me re-live those great moments of yesteryear. He throws in plenty of references to the G1 cartoons and pays homage to the original series which die hard fans are sure to pick up on and enjoy.
CGI: the best I have ever seen. The Transformers have plenty of screen time with the real live actors and it was amazing how photo realistic they all looked.
ACTION: non stop never ending. From 10 minutes in to the rolling credits. Explosions, robots, military, guns, BOOM BOOM BOOM FANTASTIC!
STORY: surprisingly good. Everyone on these boards knows what to expect. Autobots are good and must stop the Deceptacons from finding the All Spark. The pacing of the plot is done very well and there are never dull/boring moments.
COMEDY: actually really funny. Shia did a great job, and Bernie Mac and Anthony Anderson were great in their minor roles.
SUMMARY: This visual feast will live up to the hype and I can't recommend it enough. INCREDIBLY AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC!!!
