Transformers
Jul. 29th, 2007 06:22 pmI thought this was quite cool, though I predict some people won't like it because it's not very deep.
The trailer made it look like it was all serious, which didn't seem promising. However, it *was* exciting, when a decepticon was mowing down an army base. But most of the time, it had a sense of humour about itself. Giant robots fighting, and humour, what's more to like?
Look at the opening voice over. I don't know whether or not it was *supposed* to be tongue in cheek, but it sure as hell came out that way :)
I was also impressed at the personalities squeezed into non-anthropomorphic machines, that's hard and was done well. And while the macguffins were sometimes silly, the plot pretty much held up.
