Summer Blockbuster

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2009)

Again I find myself scratching my head as I reflect on this movie having watched it with my 3 kids (14, 14, 12). I wonder if the critics who have appointed themselves the geru's of the movie industry, if they have truly forgotten what they review movies for. Movies are about entertainment, if that has changed then I need to give up my DVD collection. We have Drama's, Suspense, Comedies and then we have Action to name a few. Maybe I am just a low maintenance guy who has the sense God gave a coaster, or maybe I am just a person who wants to go to a movie that entertains me on a very simple level, be it I laugh, or cry or there are plenty of explosions I want to be entertained. Transformers entertains and then some, I am a childhood fan of the cartoon series and I applaud the writers and director for adding some references from the cartoon series. The critics said it was loud, have you ever heard of a soft bomb, or soft mechanical robots fighting? The critics said there was no human element, I think the critics need to check their pulse. Movies are about entertainment on a simply level, you want action Transformers has it. Is it loud, do they fight in a big way, are there loads of things going on? Yes, yes, and yes and guess what... It's Entertaining.
