Transformers

The Plot: A war re-erupts on Earth between two robotic clans, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, leaving the fate of mankind hanging in the balance.

The Pros: Let it be known; Transformers contains some of the most exciting and exhilarating action ever captured on screen. Some of the most epic fights you will ever see are in this movie. Think about it this way: Transformers is pure testosterone released for your viewing pleasure, and it does not disappoint. The robots are magnificently realized, and the slow motion sequences literally made me get up out of my seat and yell. Also, Shia LeBeouf did a good job with what he had to work with.

The Cons: The story...I mean, come on. It's Michael Bay. The entirety of the exposition is just unnecessary, and I would have been happier with the action sequences alone.

The Bottom Line: Transformers is, without a shadow of a doubt, the blockbuster summer hit of the year. It blows away almost any other action movie you can think of, but where it does not deliver is in the story department. Nevertheless, do not miss seeing this in theaters. It is a thrill ride like you've never seen before.

The Score: 8.5 / 10

  1. Okay so this doesnt have to do with transformers-the movie. Just wondering...and trying to debunk a myth... Did you really get that iphone from that lady for free or was that just some sort of act for apple? (either way, congratz to you, you scored big time either way) People has been saying that-thats all.

    Thanks in advance if you answer my question.

  2. The real story is that the woman was working for Apple as a marketing ploy. But, I technically did get the phone for free, as she did actually give me $800. And, even though I am an actor, I was not acting there. I really did wait in line for the iPhone and had no idea who that lady was.

  5. I thought the trailer was mind-blowing. I'm very excited by the camera work, and am looking forward to it immensely. It pleases me to see that there will be something different (hopefully) coming out soon.
