Oh yeah baby. It's the Transformers, they are just so freaking awesome. Before I first watched this movie as a kid, I watched an animated Transformers movie and I had some Transformers toys as a kid. This Michael Bay movie heightened my love for the Transformers because the CGI is done so well that it makes Transformers actually seem possible. The Transformers just make me nostalgic.
Now time to talk about this movie and not just my childhood nostalgia. Because it's been so long since I've seen this movie, I was fully expecting it to be only a purely enjoyable movie and not be a great movie all around. I would say I'm partially right. I enjoyed the heck out of this while watching, while recognizing where it did have some flaws. There were so many things that made me happy to see again like Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Megatron. All the Transformers in this movie are just awesome, except for the radio one from the beginning. With this movie being so enjoyable, it makes sense that there are so many things that give you that joy. The first I'll mention is the acting because while it might not be the greatest performances from actors in all of film, I think that everyone plays their part extremely well. The highlight is Shia LeBeouf as Sam because Shia plays an awkward teen trying to be cool so well. He's also insanely witty and I remember laughing multiple times from him saying something. Other performances I would say were good were Sam's parents and the weird Sector 7 agent. After the acting, the next enjoyable thing I already kind of mentioned is the Transformers. Every single one that we see is a complex CGI thing that looks so real and blows me away. There was something so enjoyable about the giant living robots beating the crap out of each other that makes the movie so enjoyable. I'm going to say it, but the Decepticons are better than the Autobots. Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout are the standouts in this movie, but in general the Decepticons are just cooler than the Autobots. I will say that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are awesome, but the enemy are just better. This movie was just so great to come back to after so long because I have been searching for this for so long, but the 3rd movie was the only one available for so long. This was just a massive nostalgia trip and I don't regret watching this at all. 7.5/10.
