What better way to spend a rainy Independence Day than by going to see the summer’s biggest blockbuster? Transformers sure was a big production. I enjoyed the movie, but truth be told, most of the robots looked like they were pulled from the scrap heap, rather than the pristine animated heroes of my youth. Except for Optimus Prime, of course. Naturally, they spent time making him look perfect, even if they decided to give him a mouth.
There was probably too much action here. The plot was good and there was more than a little humor to be had. I can’t say that I’m disappointed: this was a great movie, I just came in with very high expectations.
