No spoilers, go see the movie!
I took my two younger children to see Transformers and we all really enjoyed it very much! I was expecting a mundane, weird looking robots and an ho-hum storyline but got the surprise of my life as I was virtually at the edge of my seat the entire movie rooting for the Autobots (the good guys) to win!
I won't say how the movie ended (of course you know the good guys won!) but I enjoyed each and every action packed scene! Basically the bad guys, the Decepticons, and its leader, Megatron, wanted to take over the Earth and kill the human inhabitants. The Autobots, with its' leader Optimus Prime was having none of that! They were all in search of an object lost on earth decades ago!
Shia LeBeouf played one of the main 'human' characters and was as goofy as he was enjoyable in the role! He really suited the character he played to a tee!
Michael Bay, the director, did a great job with the movie! What I really enjoyed were the life-like robot figures that almost seemed to be real. The voice of Optimus Prime was still the same as the television series, Peter Cullen.
I like the fact that the movie thoroughly entertained and was pretty easy to follow. I know some movie geeks and others will find fault with the movie but it did what the director set out to do, entertain and the plot wasn't as awful as some would expect it to be.
Total cost of the movie for us was $54, including snacks! Not bad for three people! The movie is PG 13 because of some of the scenes between Shia's character and that of his love interest Michela Banes played by Megan Fox. There were no nudity thank heavens, but there were hints of a not blatantly so sexual nature.
