THE MOVIE to see

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2007)

I agree with the others who appreciated this film....STOP COMPLAINING!!!! Saw the film last night and will be watching it again this week. Its THAT GOOD. I grew up watching Transformers, at first I'd have to admit I was curious why Bumblebee wasn't a VW Beetle. After seeing the movie I can appreciate why they went with the Camaro. Aside from possible sponsorship commitments it did make Bumblebee look tougher and cooler than the original BB. So get over the nostalgia and appreciate the design of the characters in this film, they're Awesome. I loved how Optimus Prime seemed more like a Ninja when he decapitated Destructor. Kudos to Michael Bay and the scriptwriters, the right mix of some adult themes and comedy makes this appealing to audience young and old. I don't know if its just me but I can't help but see Agent Smith in Megatron. Maybe its a Hugo Weaving thing but that he seemed meaner than the cartoon version. I also did ask why he wasn't a pistol. Agree with one of the previous comments, how stupid would it be if he transforms into a gun then into a 40ft robot? Loco. Anyway, if you're one of the hardcore TF fans that can't help comparing this to the 80's version of the characters and feel disappointed then you're better off watching the first movie on DVD. You'll get all the 80's Transformers you crave for there. Transformers 2K7 would have to be one of the best, if not THE BEST, cartoon-to-live CGI adaptation I've ever seen. I just hope if there are plans for a sequel (which chances are there would be) that they do as good a job or better. I would love to see the Dinobots and the Constructicons battle it out!!!!
