"Transformers"
Jeff: 'Transformers' really is more than meets the eye
Plot: Robotic aliens with the power to transform into man-made vechicles land on Earth and attempt to battle one another for an all-powerful cube. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and other humans are stuck in-between as Optimus Prime leads the Autobots against Megatron and the Decepticons.
Who’s it for: If you don’t know what Autobots and Decepticons are, you might want to avoid this summer blockbuster. Otherwise, this big-budget bonanza is for you … especially if you’re currently a teenage boy.
Expectations: “G.I. Joe” and “Transformers” were can’t-miss cartoons for me growing up, so I was pretty excited for this film. My only worry is that no blockbuster has met my expectations this summer.
SCORECARD
Actors:
Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky: Once again, LaBeouf proves to be the best young actor out there. His short, quick delivery of basic dialogue makes the first half of the film work, and for a while it looked like he would upstage the special effects of the Transformers.
Grade: A-
