Yesterday gotten a free ticket to watch Transformers from chen mei, so this is my chance to watch the movie. Initially don't want to watch the movie or rather don't want to spend a few bucks to watch the movie.

My review for the movie is that i find the story a little interesting for the part that it involves parts of the elements from the cartoon series, for the rest of the plot is rather very typical of the good vs evil and trying to save and destroy the world (or earth in this case). Still the story is able to capture the attention of the audience through the actors and actresses, especially the main character played by Shia LaBeouf. His acting is exceptionally good that it really brings out the humor part of the character.

Other than the characters, the main should be of the transformers, the autobots and decepticons. I find that the robots are too robotic in the sense that they do not have a specific feature, unlike their predecessors (the cartoons) who have very distinctive feature that can be easily recognised. That's why during the fighting scenes of the transformers, sometimes i can't figure out which is this transformer. For the voice of the transformers, only optimus prime has the original person doing it (was told). The rest of the voicing is also disappointing especially for starscream, who always does his high pitched together with screaming, but all these are not found in the movie.

From my personal perspective of a avid fan of transformers, ever since i've watch the cartoon when i was very young. i prefer the transformers from the cartoons and i believe fans of transformers also prefer the cartoons-kind of transformers. Which is why i find it disappointing as the movie does not help me reminisce my memories of the old times when i watch the cartoon. The movie feels rather new to me, more like a "new" transformers, which is why i think newcomers will find it interesting and oldies will have some disappointment.
