The movie was great if you are expecting what it is, a Transformers movie geared towards those who watched the series in 80's with a few updates. The amount of detail that went into the special effects was stunning, however the acting left me wanting more. As far as plot, what can you do? Its Transformers. Autobots vs Decepticons, good vs evil, and there really not much left to it. Although I do agree that Bay missed to mark with the profanity which I think will limit the audience. Parents should review the movie first and decide if this is appropriate for the kids as there is a lot of humour that they wont understand but might repeat at dinner at the worst possible time. In the end if you want to watch a movie that will keep you entertained without having to think to much then this is a good movie. Then again, Transformers was never designed to be an award winning cartoon/show/movie.
What's great about it: Lots of Action and some great FX
