Transformers is a fun movie to watch when you feel like leaving your brain at home and submerging yourself into the silliness that could only come from a movie premise created by Hasbro. No, I mean it- it was fun. Well it took a while before the actual fun stuff started. Before that you learn about this kid with a crush and his parents with their obsessions about lawn care and ...ho hum... well he becomes acquainted with the Transformers- the Autobots and the Decepticons and that's when the movie really begins. Lots of fight scenes. Very cool ones too- except I don't think it was really meant for the big screen. At times it was really visually hard to follow what the heck was going on with all this metal dancing around on such a large screen. I know that the there was a lot of detail in the CGI, but you couldn't really see it because everything moved so fast. Sometimes I would have to take a break from looking at the screen cause it was too much. Don't go in with a migraine. One icky thing that a fine gentleman pointed out to me was that almost all of the cars were GMC's- product placement ad nauseam. So Bumblebee which was a Beetle in the cartoon is now a Camaro. Bleck! Why don't they just gave him a nice pencil-stache and bandana and called him Ace? But anyways, its a bit of geek movie, not that I had to point that out. Robot wars always equals geeky- but its a good thing. I could talk about the characters but does anyone really care? Its robot wars! Woooo!!!! I have to give this 2 1/2 butterbots because even though it was fun at times, it really is stupid.
