Having been in the Lake District for the last week no doubt you have all missed my wit and raconteur but fear not I am back. I did take the opportunity to see at the local fleapit in Windermere, Transformers. The 5 of us went to this small and pretty average cinema and the crowd of 40-50 settled down in the crappy chairs. The film is as expected and does exactly what it says on the tin. It is best watched as a light hearted action film even with some comedic value, it does not take itself too seriously and is a breezy affair. The action starts in awesome fashion with a Decepticon disguised as a helicopter taling out an entire Army base on its on , during this the Scorpion detaces and burrowed into the sand to be seen later. It is the best opening of a film in many a year. The plot is wonderfully ridiculous but I did not go expecting Hamlet and I did not go expecting to see an Oscar winning acting performance. Shia Lebouef however was spot on and is the rising star ( soon to be seen in Indiana Jones 4 as Indiana's Son ) and Megan Fox is gorgeous. The friendly Autobot Bumblebee transforms after chosing Sam as its master and it kicks off from then when Optimus Prime makes his way into the scene.
The transformations are stunning and it is the best special effects ever produced, it has raised the bar.
The Decepticons group when the Cube is detected and all hell breaks loose. Megatron is the biggest and best and the show down between Megatron and Optimus Prime is superb.
All manner of decepticons appears including a coke machine and a mobile phone. It is a tale of Good V Evil and is a triumphant adaptation of the comic book cartoons to the big screen.
The cinema I saw it is did not have a state of the art sound system or screen so I will be watching it again at the Brighton Multiplex for full effect.
Most reviewers have given it a 4 star review and if you go and disengaged your brain and just enjoy $ 175 000 000 of Eye Candy on the screen with magnificent 50 foot robots transforming and beating the shit out of each other you will not be dissapointed. Its taken $ 263 000 000 at the US box office and people who thought Bay would produce a Turkey have been foreced to eat their words. Bring on T2 when I would like to see Spielberg take over the directing helm as that could be something really special.
