Transformers


*** Stars

Transformers is a loud, lame, and crazy adventure of a robotic world joining ours into the biggest war the universe has ever seen. And from that, the movie still totally rocks.

Director Michael Bay still lacks the brains for a great story, but he can sure dazzle the screen with the visuals. And with a franchise and story like Transformers, it is a pitch-perfect match. The Earth is caught in the middle of an intergalactic war between two races of robots, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, which are able to change into a variety of objects, including cars, trucks, planes and other technological creations.

Bay knows his audience...BOYS. He knows not to take this too serious. This a movie that will bring out your ten year old side and will make you want to run out and play with these toys all over again. The cast does a fine job in front of the green screen, and Shia LaBeouf steals the show who is rapidly becoming a truly fine actor. Could he become the next Tom Hanks?
