Transformers
July 29, 2007
I was a huge fan of Transformers when I was younger, I had all the videos, a huge collection of toys; there was something about the whole franchise that just captured my 5 year old imagination like nothing else.
So naturally when I discovered that it had been made into a movie I was instantly excited to see how the cartoon would work when ported to “reality” (in a manner of speaking). In the time leading up to it’s release a lot of people feared that it may fail to deliver despite all the hype…
After having watched it twice I can say without doubt that it was absolutely AWESOME!
mild spoilers
That’s not to say it was perfect of course. The two subplots following the soldiers and code-breakers seem largely irrelevant and seem only to serve as way to lengthen the movie. (Although seeing armed men running from Scorponox, burrowing and leaping out of the sand did make for quite impressive visuals.)
I still don’t understand the rationale for taking the “AllSpark” into the middle of the city in the closing parts of the film but with such frantic action and masses of robot carnage I’m willing to forget about that…
Overall if you like Transformers (or even if you don’t), can forgive a slightly cartoony story and enjoy a good bit of action then odds are you’ll probably enjoy what is certain to be the summer blockbuster of 07’.
