Transformers Movie Review
I think the Transformers movie was the movie Michael Bay was born to make.

He's finally found his calling. Kid's cartoons. All this time he's been making more grown-up movies, and they've not worked. But when he does a gigantic cartoon with some live-action mixed into CGI cartoon characters, and... wow. It works.

Transformers had a dumb plot, a ludicrous premise (taken from the TV show), and some downright silly characters spouting off kindergarten-level themes. And you know what? It worked. I had a total blast watching it. The robots started swinging swords and shooting guns at each other, jumping out of the sand to attack a middle-eastern town, or whatnot --- and it was all good fun. Wild action. Butt-kicking goodness.

It was a Saturday morning cartoon, pulled off nicely, and I found I still have a place in my heart for that kinda thing. I can't recommend the movie for anything other than its great CGI, but I have to admit I had a lot of fun watching it.
