TRANSFORMERS Review.

So I have seen this movie twice in one week, cause it is just that amazing. I had high expectations going to see it and they were met beyond what I thought possible. After reading other people's reviews, there seems to be a general thought process. Transformers is easily the best summer movie of 2007.

The bots themselves were so cool. The CGI work was almost flawless, and realistic to a point that I was half-expecting a car to transform on the way home from the movie. Tons of good bot fighting actions throughout the film. Laughs are sure to be found in subtle little things like background action or props such as the air freshener in Bumblebee. The acting was well-done. Kudos to the actors including current Hollywood It-Guy, Shia LaBeouf. He did a great job as always. Lots of fun to watch him interact with Bumblebee. It must have been a good time working on that set.

Speaking of the cars, Bumblebee is a 1974 Chevrolet Camaro and reforms into the new 2008 concept Camaro. That concept Camero is HOT! I love that car. Oh my, oh my. I want to watch the movie again just to see that car. Werid of me, I know. The other cars aren't too bad either. Jazz is a modified Solstice. Prime is a Peterbilt 379 semi. Rachet is a majorly modified H3, and I still don't know what Ironhide is. Some sort of Chevy truck.

The soundtrack for the movie is kick butt too. Mutemath, Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park, The Goo Goo Dolls and many more. Good music. ^^ Not going to say much more as to not spoil the movie. I really hope they plan on filming another. They have to. You will see what I mean if you stay a little while during the credits.

My favorite line in the whole thing:

- In fifty years, do you want to be able to look back and say you had the guts to get in the car?

Interesting....

~ The Decepticon Soundwave was originally in the script, but was replaced with Blackout (who had originally been named Vortex, and later Incinerator). He is to appear in the film's sequel.

~ Producer/writer Tom DeSanto originally intended eight Transformers on each side to appear in the film; the Autobots would comprise Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jazz, Prowl, Ratchet, Wheeljack and Bumblebee; and the Decepticons to comprise Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble, Skywarp and Shockwave. In the event, only seven of those Transformers (five Autobots and two Decepticons) made it into the film.This was a deliberate move by the writers to emphasize the Autobots' teamwork, and the threat the Decepticons pose to the world.
