On recommendation of my kids, blockbuster status (over $300 million at the box office) and the need for something "mindless," I watched Transformers. Took me four sitting to get through it (it's almost 2.5 hours long). It's a great popcorn movie. Won't challenge you intellectually; won't inspire you to change the world, but lotsa fun. Great special effects. Great sets. Very funny. Simple story line (good vs. evil). Shia LeBeouf (lead) is really good. He has to run a lot in the movie. The sexual humor is objectionable in parts. But the ratings advisory is accurate. Watch it with the caption on, will help with all the military jargon and phrases they use (e.g. "Sec Def orders a strike," as in Secretary of Defense orders a strike).
