I loved it.

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2007)

I grew up playing with Transformers as a kid. I had no idea if I would love this movie, or hate it, because I had no idea if I would connect with it, now as a 30 something big kid who remembers well playing with the toys and watching the cartoons.
I totally loved it. A friend of mine, who saw it before I did, told me, "I won't spoil it for you, but I'll tell you this: it's everything you hope it is." And it is.
The "characters" (and I'm talking the non-human ones, here) match exactly with the "personalities" you're expecting. The effects are amazing -- they really do fit seamlessly into the action, without detracting. Overall, it's just a thoroughly satisfying movie. And that's from a 30-something "girl" whose brothers always made her play with Bumblebee. ;)
