Giant Robots Fighting

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2009)

Transformers was a decent movie if you don't think. When I say that it goes beyond just the notion that giant talking robots aren't real. We all know that, and that's not what I'm saying. This movie is meant to be enjoyed the way a roller coaster is meant to be enjoyed. You just strap yourself in and go for the ride. There's a lot of action, poorly written dialogue, and dazzling special effects. The acting is only on par with the direction. Michael Bay may know how to blow things up in amazing ways, but he lacks the ability to really get a reaction out of an actor. But, once again, this film is not meant to showcase anyone' true acting grit. It's meant to be a fun ride that everyone can easily enjoy. It's a throwback to the reason we grew up watching and loving movies. In this primal sense, it's a winner.
