Okay, as those who have seen the trailers will figure, the CG is pretty much the cornerstone of this movie. While it probably will blow you away, the novelty eventually wears off and then you wonder: hey, where did the plot go?! But then your attention is quickly drawn back by a giant robot slamming into an office block - or a wonderfully shot car chase; probably some of the most impressive action sequences to ever grace the silver screen.

A hefty dose of cheese seems to have been added to the movie, but most of it can be laughed off. One particular scene was reminiscent of the fighter jet in the movie Stealth downloading songs off the internet. A few loose ends in the thin story probably suggest a sequel is coming - but how can anyone have a problem with that! It has its laughs (even if some are cheap) but the 2.5 hours go fast; I'm sure most people will leave the cinema on a high note. Hopefully this movie gets Bay the credit The Island didn't.

And a postscript for hardcore Transformers geeks: go with your expectations at your ankles because you're probably going to cringe when something isn't as it should be (although even a minor fan like myself noticed a lack of original transformation noises). But on the whole this movie has plenty more to offer, and appeals to many more people.

这部片子不错哦！嗬嗬！昨天好不容易抽空去看了！老实说哦！Bruce实在是太帅了！唉！小时候看他演的神探亨特就已经很喜欢他了！嗬嗬！原来自己喜欢的是很man的男人哦！

 

我发现在这部片子中的Bruce好像有点小强精神。。。他怎么老打不死呢！一会儿飞机，一会儿卡车。。。我的天哪！还有哦！他也挺搞笑的！我看了那个中文版配音的。。。效果没有英文的好！有些东西不是原文的就不好笑了！不过总而言之这还是一部不错的电影啊！建议没有看的要去看啊！
