My childhood plus a couple M-80s
Ok, I was quite skeptical about this film. I didn't know what to expect, knowing Michael Bay's history and some of the "actors" in the film. Given some of the heavy hitters (ie Voight and LeBeouf) the cast left much to be desired. It was a last minute decision to go and see this, my friend left town for five months the next day and he wanted to go. I honestly didn't know what to expect, the previews were a little ambiguous. I was shocked, yes the focus was taken away from the actual Transformers more than it should. The extreme lack of "language" and the abundance of humor made up for what the movie lacked. I'm not against swearing, but I prefer it not abused when not needed. I feel the soul purpose of the film was to bring back that childhood excitement. It got you giggling, it made you excited. I left wanting to rush back to when I was 5 and was holding full scale battles with my brothers in our livingroom. I wouldn't say it's a cinematic feat, but it left me with the feeling it was supposed to, a trill of being young again. I reccommend it, it's worth the step off the cliff, You might be surprised, so all you anti- Michael Bay people, you need to step off your high horse and check it out. Don't be so stubborn, it's not very becoming. Thank you.
