Transformers

"Criminals are HOT."

4 Stars

Okay, truth time. I didn't really watch the show.
I would always catch the last 10 minutes or so because Jem was on next. But I did play with the toys though.
It was cool to have my boyfriend next to me to tell me who each guy was, and what the whole war was about.
I like to see boys get all excited about this stuff.

The planet Cybertron's inhabitants engage in a secret war for control of the Earth's natural resources, which they desperately need for fuel. Able to disguise as cars, airplanes, boats, and more the transformers prove a tough enemy.

I was relieved that I missed this movie in IMAX, the graphics were so impressive it would have given me a heat attack to see it so huge. This had to be by far the best CGI that I have seen so far. Director Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor) has a talent for action. Some shots are so calculated, and precise that my mouth was agape, giving way to a handful of "Oh shit" moments.

Shia LaBeouf plays shock so well. I knew when I saw that kid on Even Stevens that
A: he was going to be super cute, and B: he's talented. Then when he won the Emmy in 2003, I was validated.
And where the hell did Megan Fox come from?! Do they really make chick that good looking? John Voight, John Robinson, John Turturro, and my man Bernie Mac all co-star as well and do great jobs.

There were some things that I just had to look passed. Some of the jokes were retarded and easy, but it's a summer movie though, right? When the robots are "hiding" at Sam's house, I just couldn't believe that no one heard these huge machines outside, or the damages they are causing to their home.
But then again, it's a movie about robots from another planet that can talk, fight, and know hip-hop so who cares about technicalities, right?
