Transformers: My Review

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

As much as I personally hate reading reviews about movies, I’ve decided to write my own. The reason why IÂ hate reading movie reviews is that nobody really has the same opinion as me. They probably watch the movie with an entirely different set of criteria. Anyway, here we go!

The following items are on a scale from 1 - 10:

Plot: 6 - The plot wasn’t great, but they were kind of stuck with a plot, being Transformers and everything. The one big thing that I could believe was that they main character in this story, played by Shia LeBeouf, got the girl at the end. I’ll be honest, this was a bit of a stretch. There’s no way that this guy could have got that girl.

Acting: 6 - I didn’t feel like the characters really enveloped the character’s personality. Some of the lines felt forced as though it was unnatural for them to be saying those things. In there defense, the script was no well written.

Dialogue: 5 - The dialogue was kind of week. I didn’t feel like the characters were saying things that the character’s would actually say. Yeah, weird I know, but you’ll understand if you see it.

Action: 9 - There was some pretty impressive action sequences in the movie which were greatly helped along by the awesome special effects. The Transformers themselves looked quite impressive and I think they did a good job at making them look like they were actually fighting. The best part about the action was that when the Transformers transformed, they made the classic noise (there are those who know what I’m talking about).

Entertainment Value: 8 - Although the plot wasn’t incredible and the dialogue and acting were also not stellar, the action in the movie was great. Since the movie was mostly action, the entertainment value was high.

In conclusion, the movie will not be winning the “Best Picture of the Year” award at the Oscars, but it was enjoyable to watch and I would probably see it again.

Rated PG-13, scattered profanity, a little vulgarity, a lot of sci-fi violence
