The LA Red Carpet Premiere (live webcast here)is starting soon and in the next couple days Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Mayaysia and other countries will get a chance to hit the theatres. So between all the screenings and various premieres around the world, reviews have started hitting the web.
The overall theme of the reviews is highly entertaining movie with great CGI. Some complaints of lack of depth but thats reviewers for you, always thinking every movie should strive to be an instant classic. Spoiler warnings for the reviews.
EmanuelLevy.com - B+ "what could have easily been the equivalent of a crowded and loud amusement park, full of attractions and rides to choose from, turns out to be a more unified and slightly more involving film than is the norm with summer flicks"
Sideshow Toys - 4.5/5 "it's a pretty straightforward, balls-out, big explosion, cheesy dialogue, effects-laden summer blockbuster"
Dark Horizons - "a quite effective thrill ride. It's the ecstasy of Summer movies - the first time is a rush, but each subsequent hit has less effect and proves ultimately futile after the first few times"
Variety - "Big, loud and full of testosterone-fueled car fantasies, Michael Bay's actioner hits a new peak for CGI work, showcasing spectacular chases and animated transformation sequences seamlessly blended into live-action surroundings."
Jalopnik.com - they felt it was basically a very entertaining extended advertisement for GM cars. Its a car site so might be a little bias. "cargasm" came up a few times.
