Exactly what you look for in a blockbuster movie!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2011)

For me there are several kinds of movies. One of them are blockbusters, which are most of the time brainless visual feast, something you enjoy watching and something you don't nitpick every little detail (like "ah, this is so unbelievable" or "yeah, not very likely to happen...").
Michael Bay is the top director in this category. He knows how to entertain and he is a visual master. I don't see how anyone can deny that.
The Transformers movies are not something where I'm relying heavily on plot and script. And believe me, you will hear about "ridiculous story line", "why didn't this one do that in the previous films" and more. But all I ask of you is this: what is it that you look for in a summer blockbuster movie? The CGI is getting better and better. This is really spectacular in 3D and the noise ... wow! It's amazing! I'm predicting this film to be the second most popular film of 2011 (after Harry Potter of course) and the reason is that it deserves it. There is a script, and the funny part is that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the one-liners the characters shout at each other, I think Shia is a great actor and we got a new female lead who is a lot more believable than Megan Fox was. Even big names like Frances McDormand and John Malkovich are added to the mix and make this more enjoyable. It may be easy acting in front of "nothing" (i.e. the robots added later) but the believability of it is a lot stronger here than in many other films.
Jabolonsky's music is powerful, cinematography is great, cgi is perfect, acting is believable, you will laugh, you will be excited and you will enjoy it.
Give in and let go ... enjoy this visual feast for it will blow your mind. Totally worth the money. I'm 40 yrs old and my 14 yr old daughter agrees with me :-)
