Superb, fun film

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2009)

Have seen this film twice now once with workmates on the opening night and second time with my children. Superb action sequences where you can appreciate the bigger budget and where it was spent. Super-smooth cgi where the robots just look real, and in a sense normal. Great new characters with a familiar Megatron/Starscream love/hate relationship however a lot of the new characters lacked depth and were merely there almost at times to fill in background space - that said so are most of the named human cast members. A lot of complaints about racial stereotyping are just nonsense the Twins added value to the story and were a light relief from Prime/Bumblebee stealing the spotlight. Plot easy enough to follow - my 5 year old son got it I don't really see where the dramatics from the "critics" are coming from. I will happily watch it again and can't wait for the DVD.
