The best giant robot movie of all time. I jest not.

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2009)

Take it for what it is...a sci-fi summer blockbuster, and you can't say much bad about this movie. Shia LeBouf is as goofy as ever. John Tuturro is as neurotic as ever. Megan Fox is hotter than ever (is that even possible?). And Michael Bay blows up more stuff than ever. There's nothing not to like,aside from the annoying Autobot twins (this movie's version of Jar-Jar Binks). Even the one plot hole that I found was quickly resolved in a post-screening discussion. If you're going to hate on this movie for its lack of substance, then I think you're taking the wrong view of it. Well worth waiting in line for the midnight screening, and that's even disregarding the trailer for "The Last Airbender". Now I think it's time to hit up the IMAX. Should be even more amazing there.
