Fantastic movie.
If you’re on the fence about seeing Transformers, you have to know what to expect and what not to expect. What you should expect is cars, trucks, jets and other machines transforming into giant human-like robots whose only job is to kick ass. You should also expect slapstick, situational and bodily-function humor. What you should not expect is a sophisticated plot or Academy-quality acting. I’m not saying the acting wasn’t good; it was very-much adequate. But this is an action movie based off an 80’s cartoon, and there are only a few things needed to make this movie good, and they pretty much nailed it.
Awesome fight scenes involving giant robots that turn into other things and destroy stuff? Check. Hot chick? Check (She’s married to Brian Austin Green? Fuck. That.) Hugo Weaving? Shit yes. Comic relief? Check. And finally… Bernie Mac cameo? Check.
See this movie. You’ll be a better person for it.
I COMPLETELY agree…its all about expectations, i mentioned that very thing in my review on Cold Leftovers…Check it out if you like.
