Transformers (2007)

★★★1/2

Michael Bay’s over-the-top envisioning of the 80s cartoon. Sam Witwicky is your average teenager until he soon discovers that his new car is actually a robot in disguise. Before long he is flung into an epic battle between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, and he realizes that his ancestors made the most important discovering on Earth. Now he must help his robot friends find and destroy the All-Spark before the Decepticons use it to conquer the world. Bay was the perfect person for this because the entire movie replaces good dialogue, acting and characters with eye-candy, explosions, action and thrilling suspense. So all in all it was a great action movie but only if you are willing to leave your brain at the door.
