Optimus Prime is still a favorite to humans!

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2007)

OK, I love the movie, outright. The only thing is Michael Bay, maybe they could have gotten someone else to direct that was better. He directs in the way that he directed Armageddon, and Pearl Harbor. The close up's of the transformations made it a little hard to tell how they were transforming. And the lack of Starcream being more involved in the movie was a let down; however minor. I wish they would have used the the transformations sounds from the cartoon more in this movie; although, I did hear it every once and a while. It would have been great to hear Optimus transform with the original sound from the cartoon. I love that they brought Peter Weller back from the cartoon series to do Optimus Primes voice, anything else would have been a let down, and would have brought the score way down. Other than that, good acting, great special effects. The only question is to ask. Who is going to be the transformers on the sequel? I'm thinking devastator (Constructicons). Everyone knows Soundwave will be in the next one, and starscream. And Kup will be too, you gotta have an old timer to goto when you don't have the answer, that's the way it works in real life. Oh yeah, far fetched, but maybe not, Unicron. But he may be in the third one. And the director may go as far to put a triple changer in for the first time. Anyways, enjoy the movie, it's a must to go watch on the big screen.
NOTE: They should have had some of the 80's music from the original movie in this movie.
