Transformers
Oh.Em.Gee.

Okay, so, it's not the cartoon, and it's not the cartoon movie, either. It's... Michael Bey Doing Transformers. So it's a lot like Pearl Harbor mixed with ID4 (of sorts). It's signature Michael Bey, Gunfights, Chase scenes, Explosions, Military scenes (of questionable accuracy), More chase scenes, a love story, a couple more explosions, and the little man beating the big overwhelming villian.

Yet, I loved it. While the other movie is more character driven, this one's pure action movie. I liked it, and I liked that the robots moved so... fluidly, like in 'I Robot', only they're two stories tall, and some of the weapons are rather inventive.

And yet, what I wasn't ready for was, oddly enough, the 'realism' of the picture. I'm used to the cartoon, where nobody dies, get's really hurt, and always manages to win/flee at the last moment.

Transformers is a fun movie, and pretty close to the source material, and there is a loving attention to most aspects of it, but it's not all that deep. Shia LaBeouf does a wonderful job, and there's a ton of wonderful little touches that I loved, but at it's heart, it's a summer action movie.
