The threat was imminent: Michael Bay, not one of the better-liked directors in Hollywood, was helming the Transformers movie y'all.

The Internet has been screaming about the movie since it was announced, which means every fan who knows the universal greeting is going to be filing into theatres this week to see just how bad the film is. Surprisingly though, after seeing the film earlier today which I hope it's not too late, Michael Bay might not have spit in the face of my childhood after all.

There are cheesy moments, and the film could have used a firmer editor, but for fans of the original cartoon it's pure bliss. There are too many great scenes and surprises to ruin here, so I'll leave the specifics out, but I will say that Michael Bay has delivered a film that stays true to the source material while updating the franchise for a modern audience.

This is a must see if you're in the mood for a strong, loud summer movie. Fans of the Transformers and newcomers alike are going to have a lots of fun.
