I loved it, and I’m happy that I can say those words, considering what I said to my work friends a few weeks ago:

I’m hyped for the movie, but I know it is going to be awful, so it is like walking into a trap.

I can’t imagine a Transformers fan going to see this movie and not liking it. Well, Nadia didn’t, but that’s really because of a particular scene that really robbed her of the ability to enjoy it. I’d share that scene with you, but it is a spoiler. She might come around in a few days.

This movie had a pretty good balance of drama, humor and action. The special effects were quite good, and fans of the series and comics will dig a few lines that are clearly in-jokes written just for them. If anything bugged me, it would be the fact that the original voice actor for Megatron was not used. Not that Hugo Weaving did a bad job at all. I was just hoping for the voice that I have always associated with Megs, since all the Optimus fans out there got his original voice.
