A Summer Blockbuster Hit

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2009)

Let me start off saying I am a huge g1 transformers fan. I enjoyed the the first movie and I also enjoyed this one. This movie is exactly what its supposed to be. A huge action flick with lots of explosions. Yes they don't look like the original transformers but this is 2009 not 1985. A volkswagon beetle, mini van, station wagon, flat nosed truck, and so on would look retarded in 2009. All you die hard fans who complain about it might want to refresh on the old cartoons. The old cartoons had hardly any continuation. New characters popped up and disappeared randomly with no explanation, and there were crazy story lines (anyone remember when they found the gold pond that made them all invincible?). This update brings a lot of good things along with some bad. Would you rather have all this action or hardly any action( x- men:3). Before I went to see it people on here were complaining about the SE saying they couldn't tell who was who in the fights. I didn't have that problem( I guess I have great vision). The action in this movie was fantastic. The story was odd, but acceptable. This was exactly what most people expected, a great action flick to past the time, I wasn't hoping for an amazing story, I just wanted to see prime and the boys shut megatron up. My only gripes were that You didn't see a lot of ratchet or Iron Hide. And The BIGGEST problem was I don't recall ever hearing Prime say "Autobots, Transform and ROLL OUT!"
So in conclusion, If you want a good action film with descent humor, good cgi, and lots of explosions and action this is a great choice. IF you are a Die Hard fanboy who feels it should be just like the original cartoons, you will be disappointed. Or If you go in there looking for dramatic heart tugging scenes worthy of an Oscar you will be disappointed. This is a great movie for action fans.
