Transformers

Set expectations to action/adventure/comic book-type movie created specifically for adolescent boys (or those who recently were), and this film can be appreciated and enjoyed for what it is. Plus, there's the cultural study of the hyper-sexualized high school girl.

Anyway, the plot's improbable (is that strong enough?), the robot fight scenes are hard to follow, and the overall result (spoiler alert!) isn't terribly surprising (including the strong potential for (a) sequel(s)), but it's still pretty fun. Moderately not bad acting and strong special effects overcome.

On a scale of Optimus Prime: The Toy (1) to Optimus Prime: The Movie Character (6), this one's a 3.9.
