One Louder…

Transformers the movie is ace. Seriously ace as well.

If you’re around my age, you must have been into transformers when you were a kid (unless you weren’t cool). This could go two ways though. Although you have high expectations, if the film doesn’t live up to them, you’re going to be really dissapointed. Thankfully, that isn’t the case though.

The CGI is awesome. Everything feels right, the way the robots transform, their size and weight are all spot on. The plot is also really interesting. In a lot of modern day adaptions of cartoons/comics it feels like they have just been made for the sake of it and the plot is almost an afterthought, but not so here. The only minor criticism is the need to get a teenage love story in which digs into the massive robot fighting action. Transformers doesn’t take itself too seriously though. There is a lot of humour in there, and it’s funny as well. The bit where the autobots are all hiding outside the house is fantastic. Some of the best lines from the cartoon series are there as well. “One shall stand, one shall fall” and the Optimus Prime’s speech at the end made Joy cry :p

Definately one for the cinema. Brave it through the hordes of blinged up chavs queuing outside Leisure World and the mating calls of revving Novas with every tacky Halfords accessory attached.

Oh, Megatron transforms into a plane though, not a gun. Not sure what that is about.
