The ultimate transformerization

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2009)

Yea, I know, there's no such word.
Michael Bay doesn't waste time. Five minutes into the movie, you get all the Transformer action that you have been craving for since a year ago. Before you can fasten your seat belt, you're back in the world of Transformers, together with the human accessories. Two-and-a-half hour is too long for the human story that is somewhat cliché (son leaving home for college, puppy love turn serious etc) and the Transformers story that you neither understand nor really bother to. But that hardly matters. The complete final hour is devoted to top-notch CGI action that should satisfy even the most gluttonous of action junkies.
The degree of emotional intensity of the climax is a little surprising and not unwelcome, as it is done with simple, comic-book honesty. For the protagonists, Shia LaBeouf is very comfortable with his role, and you have Megan Fox who has since been crowned the sexiest woman (in healthy, sunshine sort of persona). As bonus, you have John Turturro back, who doesn't look too different from what he recently did in "The Taking of Pelham 123" but that is fine. Most of the other supports are back.
The last word has to be on the Transformers. They have pulled all the plugs in "transformerization" – you see them in every form and guise: the Hound of Baskervilles, Yoda (a tall version though), Mystique, Gremlins, and probably more.
