But I figure I'll post this up here for everyone to read. TRANSFORMERS REVIEW One of the few remaining summer blockbusters has just been released. TRANSFORMERS. So does this movie stack up with its competition? Well in my opinion, not quite. Lets start with the good. The most obviously awesome thing about the film has to be the special effects. TRANSFORMERS by far has the best special effects of any other movie released this summer. So a round of applause for ILM on their wonderful work. The cast was a pretty nice ensemble. I think everyone did a great job, and I had no problems with the acting. Shia Lebouf did a good job at balancing the serious with the silly. He's definitely proved to me that he can star and carry a movie on his own. After all he was pretty much the only good thing in DISTURBIA. Now onto the... "not so good." The movie to me seemed a little bit slow. Now the action sequences were quick, bang, crash, explosions in your face, mo fo!! But of course Michael Bay knows his action sequences. If nothing else Michael Bay is almost the king of big action sequences. And the key word there being "sequences." I'm not saying the movie was too long. A two and half hour movie could definitely be tolerable with this source material. But it seemed that there wasn't enough in the plot to really make it that far. So about half way through the movie it just seemed like they were stretching things out a bit. It seemed like they were trying to milk every bit they could to make it to that time mark they wanted. The character development wasn't the greatest. It seemed to me that it was written in a way that leaned more toward those that were already very familiar with the Transformers series. Which is certainly understandable because that is, after all, who the movie would mainly be for. And I'm not saying there wasn't development; I think there was ample development that someone who never even heard of transformers would still know what was going on. I just think there could have just been a little bit more to satisfy some questions. Especially on some of the Decepticons. While I'm on that subject there was something I noticed that isn't really a big deal, and falls into the suspension of belief category, but I just want to point it out because its a little contradicting. This may be considered a little spoilerish by some so you may want to skip the paragraph. So there you have it. I don't think its a bad movie, not like SPIDER-MAN 3 or FANTASTIC 4: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. Its quite of fun movie to see, just don't expect it to have a super smart plot to it. I definitely think its the best movie Michael Bay has done so far. Just not the best movie of the summer. If you want to see a great action movie with a good plot, I recommend seeing LIVE FREE OR DIE HARDER. If you don't care as much about plot and just want to see some bad-ass giant robots beating the crap out of each other. Then TRANSFORMERS is going to be the movie for you! I guess I'll end with saying that I really think that liking this movie is dependent on how big of a Transformers fan you are. If you're a big fan, you'll like it a lot. And if you're not, then its kind of a flip of coin. I do think its worth the admission price, and everyone should check it out at least once. I may have not been totally sold on it, but who knows, you might think that there is, "more than meets the eye." 3.5 out of 5 VEGETA
