Transformers

transformers_400
I watched Transformers with some trepidation... given the number of 80's themed tv shows that have been badly remade/reinterpreted in the past few years, I thought this one would suck for sure.

I was wrong. This was a fun, big, explosive movie. It was quite long at 2hrs 20minutes, but it didn't feel like it. They changed the story line quite a bit -- for the better though. Let's not forget that the original cartoon was made to sell the toys, not the other way around. They fixed the story quite a bit, and still kept to the original feel and idea.

Not a great movie, but a very good one -- a fun movie for a change. Great effects, decent acting that didn't get in the way, and a fast paced story. Looking forward to the sequels where they explore the Transformer's characters more.
