Transfomers

We finally got to see Transformers, and despite everyone not expecting too much I really enjoyed it.

A background on my level of Transformers fandom: Yeah I grew up when Transformers were big, I'm sure I watched them as a kid, I probably had a toy or two, but my knowledge isn't really that extensive and I can't say I ever had a favorite, or followed it enough to understand anything about an ongoing storyline.

That being said I was just hoping for a cool action movie with really cool looking giant transforming robots. And that's what I got. After the first hour.

Probably most of the first half of the movie could have been condensed down. Some scenes were unnecessarily long, some stuff really didn't even need to be in the movie at all. Now the second half of the movie = pure joy. The battles were awesome. Bumblebee and Optimus were super cool. I had a big problem with the Decepticons because they were mostly painted the same color and, me not really knowing them by name, could hardly tell who was who. I knew there was some butt kicking going on, but who's butt I dunno.

So yeah, overall, I liked it. :D
