Title: Now that's what I call a hybrid!
Review: Blockbuster movies live or die according to their level of humour. That's my opinion, anyhoo. Luckily TRANSFORMERS strikes just the right tone. It never takes itself too seriously and is often funny as well as spectacular. There's nothing remotely cerebral here but that's par for the course: intellectuality is not what such movies are about. The performances are solid if unremarkable with the exception of Jon Tuturro, who stands out in his role as a self-important man in black. This movie is a thrill ride from start to finish, it features some truly spectacular effects, and in the end the unlikely hero gets the super-hot girl. What more could you want from such a hefty slice of Hollywood hokum?
