Sometimes, with a high budget movie, you wonder where all the money went to, but with this $150 million vehicle, it&#8217;s quite clear. Wonderful location shooting and stunning visuals (though a bit fast cut and chaotic at times) are a force to be reckoned with, but most of the characters have fantastic one-liners, and Shia LaBeouf carries this movie well on his own. Still, there are also quite a bit of memorable other characters around (hilarious roles for John Turturro and Anthony Anderson), and not the least the Autobots themselves.<br \/>\nAnother important factor well done is the sound design (mostly effects), though Michael Bay&#8217;s recent go-to composer Steve Jablonsky delivers a not-so imaginitive score (resembling too much of his own previous works and his learning master Hans Zimmer).<br \/>\nAll in all, this movie is not only enjoyable in the short run, you&#8217;ll actually wanna go out and buy the newly produced Transformers toyline (now even more advanced), and play with it like the good ol&#8217; days till the highly probable sequel comes out in two years.8\u00c2\u00bd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A surprise hit States-side (they thought it would appeal only to the older males who grew up with the toys and cartoon series), it actually plays well in most demographics.
