Movie Review
Transformers

MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor, and language.)

Tasha's Review:

This action packed, emotion filled movie had me squirming in my seat, covering my eyes and laughing at the more grown up humor (although I could have done without dad sitting next to me, heh).  I really enjoyed this movie because I find that most movies are very kid friendly but not as exciting (they are a little bit more snooze worthy) or are very grown up which means my sister can't go to them (and sometimes my parents won't let me see them).  Not only was this movie more for my age but it was also very cool.

My favourite part of the movie was how the transformers transformed (it was very intense).  I also enjoyed Bumble Bee, Sam's car (Sam was played by Shia Labouf!).  It was a rusty old car to begin with then 'bam' it was super cool -- a sporty new Chevrolet Camaro drove by and Bumble Bee learned how to transform into it. 

The graphics in this movie were so amazing.  It is very cool to see what the people making the movie are able to do -- it makes you think everything is real even though you know it can't be.  

I would probably recommend this movie to people between the ages of 12 and 30 and rate it a 5 out of 5 because the boy/girl relationship was cute and also I think that Shia Labouf is a great actor (he is also pretty good looking *wink*.)   

Questions Tasha Answered Before Watching the Movie:

Is this a movie you are excited to see?   

Yes, because I really like Shia Labouf and I think it will be such a good movie.

Would you prefer to see it:

• in the theatre with your family,
