Transformers Movie

I caught an advanced screening tonight and it was eye candy galore.

If you were a fan of the old cartoons, had any toys, saw the old cartoon movie, you should have some nostalgia over the transformers. Check this movie out cause you will enjoy it and if you have any kids they will love you for it. *warning* They will also demand every action figure as soon as the movie is over so good luck.

It's a straight up action movie: amazing cg sequences, explosions every 10 seconds during intense battle scenes, mixed with the usual so-so plot and throwback 80's quotes. But not many people will be seeing it for the plot and the transformers are on the screen a ton to entertain. The occasional cheeseball lines are not constant unlike most of the other summer films.

7/10-Solid entertainment with some spectacular, "wow/oh shit" moments. The best popcorn flick so far this year.

guys the movie was freaking awesome. Storyline is so-so but action keeps you on edge of you seat. Special effects and eye candy is awesome. Megan Fox is a hottie too.
