Michael Bay Delivers

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2007)

Hey all, I saw a screening last night of Transformers and let me just firstly say that at the end of the screening, one person started cheering then the whole cinema followed, not 10 people, not 20, but at least 100-200 people cheering the movie. Finally it seems a movie has come along and delivered on people's expectations, and exceeded them.
Its the action scenes that really stand out, they are hard hitting and visceral, we know Michael Bay loves his action, but here they fit the Transformers perfectly. Lots and lots of things get smashed and destroyed and its exciting. Perhaps more so than any other action film for a very very long time. The CGI in this movie will win them an Academy Award, every scene just reeks of thousands and thousands of dollars spent - and thats a good thing.
The storyline blends in really well, the whole movie is like one long roller-coaster ride and it never slows down. Anyone concerned this is a movie for nerds and geeks who like their geeky toys can rest assured that the movie will transform you within 15-20 minutes in. By the end you WILL be a fan.
I think people will be genuinely surprised by what Michael Bay has done here. For me personally The Rock was an action masterpiece and Transformers is right up there.
