first off, i wanna give a shoutout to tony pierce because i borrowed the format that he uses to do reviews because its the best and the busblog rules.
every kid growing up watched the cartoon transformers. every kid who watched that show always always thought man, how cool would it be if there were live transformers like walking around, saving the world and shit? toy companies played on this desire by marketing masses of action figures based on the autobots and decepticons, but only modern movie technology and blow em up maestro michael bay (armageddon, bad boys) has been able to truly bring them to life. when it comes to finally seeing cars and trucks and tanks and fighter jets transform into giant battling robots, this film does not disappoint.
one of the best things about the infusion of futuristic graphics into a cartoon institution like transformers is the complexity of the transformations and their interactions with real live human beings. as i remember, the cartoon transformers usually just sort of fell apart, then rebuilt themselves into huge ass two legged robots. in the movie, the viewer gets to see all the moving parts while they transform, and while the transformers are in humaniod form. very very cool.
much has been made about the fact that all of the autobots (the good guys) were gm vehicles, including a camaro concept, a pontiac solstice, and hummer h2, while all of the decepticons (the bad guys) were ford vehicles, most notably a saleen hotrodded mustang cop car. coincidence? actually, yeah. in the original cartoon, the original characters
no one who paid money to see this movie paid to see twentysomething shia laboeuf play a high school sophomore, and he really isnt worth watching in most of the films in which he appears. the one human in this movie worth your money is the above picture megan fox. get this, she plays a chick who knows cars. if she can cook a sandwich and throw a football, i say close the ballots for the perfect woman, cuz we have a winner.
very entertaining movie. two thumbs up.
