Excellent, from start to finish, yet there was some let downs...

Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2007)

From the moment i saw the teaser trailers, and noticed Micheal Bay (Pearl Harbour & The Island director), I was going to see this movie indefinitely. Plus, executive produced by Stephen Spielberg which influenced me more. I was anticipating this would be a real blockbuster.
I questioned myself whether it might be quite a let down, due to over excessive amounts of money put into it. But was i sure wrong! From start to finish i was entertained! Terrific acting from Shia LaBeouf who has been doing great with his career (Disturbia is his next summer blockbuster) and also the wonderful Megan Fox, who, in which many gentleman will agree, is a girl you would drop everything to look at her.
The special effects were excellent, the best I've seen yet, especially the transformation of the robots (which are the main point about the transformers franchise). The only let down, is that there isn't much emphasis on the characters. Sure, it does start off as a steady drama and does show the life of Sam Witwicky, which escalates when he meets hot chick Mikaela Banes who is most obviously infatuated by her. But yes the balance of personality of the characters and the action is just too bias. Near to the end you kind of think, "what's going on?" you get a bit confused with all the quick action, you're just overfed with action, and sometimes does get rather annoying. There are some quirky, witty and humorous moments in the film which gives it a more happier tone to the movie.
All in all this is one great film, and i recommend it to all! Well done Spielberg and Bay!
