Excellent stuff - switch off your brain at the door!

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2007)

A bit of background - I grew up in the 80s and had Transformer toys, so I know that they are one of the coolest things ever invented, I mean, robots in disguise, how cool is that? So I saw Transformers last night, partly feeling trepidation in case it was rubbish but also excitement as the trailers looked awesome.
So how was it? It was excellent! After the first scene where you get to see a transformation I knew I'd already got my money's worth! The effects are stunning - definitely a step ahead of what's been done before, and the whole thing is full-on from beginning to end. But it doesn't get old. There are explosions, loads of battles, car chases, explosions, and more explosions! There's even quite a bit of humour! And I may be almost old enough to be her father but Megan Fox is excellent eye candy too! So in short, and as you can tell, I loved this film. Definitely one for the DVD collection.
