Synopsis: Just when you thought Transformers couldn't get any more Epic, with a capital E.
Review: I was skeptical about seeing this film as I had already heard mixed reviews and after having the Transformers bar already set fairly high by the first films I braced myself for disappointment. Let me just say that for the first half an hour of this film I could not wipe the smile off my face. The technological carnage ensues from the outset with a number of new Transformer characters (in the form of vehicles that would arouse Top Gear viewers) introduced in the first scene with Michael Bay's "action directing" taken to a new level. If you're looking for a complex plot, well developed characters and a twist at the end, go watch a Tarantino film. If you're a man, with hair on your chest, who likes things being blown up, cool cars, a ludicrous amount of military equipment and destruction by bio-tech lifeforms the likes of which you've never seen, this is the film for you. My one criticism would be that the film goes a little long (160 minutes, schedule in toilet breaks), and Megan Fox needs running lessons.
Score: 4/5
