Get of your high horses people, Transformers Rules!

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2009)

I loved this movie, just like the first. The whole draw of this movie is that those of us that grew up watching Transformers as kids and had all the toys get to see them come alive on the big screen. Yes, the plot isn't great, and if you go in expecting some extraordinary plot, you obviously haven't seen a Michael Bay film before (see South Park, General: "Those aren't ideas, they're special effects." Bay: "I don't... understand...the difference.") I enjoyed seeing the Transformers come alive again. I would like to see them remove the little bit of swearing that was done by some of the transformers, since it's really unnecessary. I think it's the writer's/director's way of show this movie is really for those of us that grew up with Transformers, not for today's kids, but today's kids are watching. Some people were upset that the Transformers weren't in the movie enough, but they sure seemed to be in it a lot more than in the first one. There was a lot more decepticons in it than autobots, but that was because they depict the high up portion of our government as being inept, which prevents the autobots from getting involved in the action earlier, except for the forest scene, which was awesome. It is a little annoying how the government gets in the way, but if it didn't the movie would be over in an hour because the autobots would quickly wipe out the decepticons, because if you watched the cartoons much, you'll remember that the decepticons were pretty inept themselves. They fight, they start to lose, and they run. Now for those people who are upset from diversions from the cartoon and comics, well, I watched every episode as a kid multiple times, but I really don't remember them all that well because lots of my memories from age 8 are rather hazy. So if you're mad about changes they made, I can only assume you should think about growing up sometime and entering the real world. This was a fun movie with wall to wall action and that's all I really expected. Some parts were corny, but that's OK. I was entertained. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
