Pretty good until the ending

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2007)

I am a huge fan of the old cartoons and was kind of excited when I saw the trailers for this movie. Not being a great fan of Shia LeBeouf I was really afraid that he would turn me off to the flix. Well lucky for me and the star the character actually fit his quirkiness to a tea. I can't say the same for the female interest of the film, who appeared much to old and sophisticated for this supposed High School geek. Of course the CGI on the autobots and decepticons was fantastic but some of the fight screens went by so fast you couldn't really see what was going on. I am also glad the movie didn't take itself too seriously. There's a lot of humor and it makes for a better movie because come on who would take this plot seriously. That's why I was so disappointed in the final battle sequences when all of a sudden everything was so serious and well dull because of it. But up until the end it's great popcorn fun 8/10.
