Absolutely Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2009)

I'm just back from a preview screening of this, and I am genuinely baffled as to where the bad reviews came from. This Movie is by a long stretch the best Block Buster of the Summer. It is superior to the very good original in almost every way. Michael Bay does a fantastic job of building suspense throughout the Movie to the extent that by the time the final battle comes you are literally on the edge of your seat. Anybody who I spoke to after said they thoroughly enjoyed it, some went so far as to say it was as good as the Dark Knight (not quite in my opinion), which should go some way to explaining how enjoyable this Movie is. It is everything a Summer Blockbuster should be, Big, Loud (fantastic sound mix too) simple, and fun.
