not only do i love this review, i can't wait to see the movie too:

[Transformers is] definitely ridiculous in that good 1980s way, like an AC/DC concert after Brian Johnson took over as lead singer or any episode of "CHiPs" where Ponch goes to the roller disco. Sure, the action is over the top, but the people in charge seem completely aware that every scene is hokey. It's a triumph of lowbrow consistency... The movie is squarely aimed at older boys and men who are able to channel their inner 11-year-old. If you have an IQ higher than 115, better skip this one, or at least drink as much Keystone Light as possible before entering the theater... The first 45 seconds or so aren't very promising, beginning with this narration: "Before time began, there was a cube. We know not where it comes from."... there's never more than a few minutes without a good laugh or a gratuitous huge explosion, and the plot wisely avoids any moral messages, parallels with the 9/11 tragedy or anything else that might get in the way of the machine-on-machine carnage. "Transformers" is about blowing stuff up for the sake of blowing stuff up. Can you think of a better way to spend the Fourth of July?
