Transformers - A Fantastic Voyage Through Geekdom
Transformers A
Starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and Josh Duhamel
Directed by Michael Bay (Armageddon)
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor and language
Appropriate for ages 10+ (Maybe boys 6+)
The Story: Earth becomes the staging ground for a massive war between two groups of alien robots: the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons.
The Good: Nostalgia has got to be this film's most powerful weapon. With the buzz this film has going, I assume that the world is full of people like me that loved these toys and their stories. Upon hearing that this was going to be a live-action film, I was unsure of how they could do it. But due to amazing CG, action, and storytelling, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and company have been brought to life in a big way. The script is so nerdy that you can't help but love it. It is as corny as it is magnificent and I have to admit that it is the most fun I've had at the movies all year.
The Bad: If seeing the Transformer's trailer didn't make you a little giddy, then this movie is probably not for you. Also, due to the ominous and scary nature of the Deceptions, the pic might be a little too much for young children. While I would have fun taking my young nephews to see it, if it were nieces, I would probably be at a different movie.
The Summary: Childhood memories come to life in this fantastic voyage through geekdom.
Thanks for putting the appropriate ages for viewing the films. It sure is helpful!

Like the Blog site. Very professional. Is this based on something by wordpress??
I saw Transfomrers this weekend wth my two sons(age 9 and 7) who enjoyed the movie. They missed some of the adult themes which I think were not neccessary and were not a part of the original cartoon program.
