Protects and Destroys

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2007)

All right, hands down, in my opinion, this was the best action movie I have seen so far. I sat in the theater speechless, always anxious to see what was next. I loved loved LOVED it, but of course, it had its low points. The fighting between the robots were near to perfection (although very unrealistic when dealing with reactions of citizens and Sam's parents) and were possibly the best parts in the movie. You gotta love those slow-motion transforming parts. However, I absolutely hated the dialog of the robots. They said some pretty cheesy and unnecessary things. I wasn't feeling their voices either but I guess that was as good as it can get. And, I'm starting to warm up to Shia. I despised his role in the Disney series Even Stevens, but seeing his role in Disturbia and now Transformers, I think he will become or already is a great actor. Now about Megan Fox... she's hot. Extremely hot. But I walked in the theaters not expecting much from her character and as soon as I saw the first scene she was in, I knew I was right. She seldom did much to help and she's not a very good actress. She seems like a total girly girl even though she knew a lot about trucks. I don't know about you, but if I was dragged involuntarily to deal with massive destructive robots, I'd be screaming my ass off and not just tragically stare at the scary robots. There were some parts that confused me when I would just be like WTF ARE THEY SAYING but this movie is all about action and Michael Bay pretty much nailed it. And I was expecting Megatron's defeat to be much more... action-y. Oh well. As long as there's a sequel, I ain't complaining. Good job, Michael Bay. 9/10 for me.
