Movie was well done

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2007)

I was a huge fan growing up so yeah there were many things in the movie that were not 100% like the cartoons. But it was great to see the adaptations made to modernize the cartoon into a movie at present day. I wanted to see this movie for nostalgic reasons despite the fact that I own the cartoon movie that came out in '86 and the first 3 seasons on DVD. The movie did a good job of introducing the characters and story plot while keeping it light and humorous. The bountiful actions scenes were incredible and tied in very well with the soundtrack. If you are a die hard transformers fan you will catch small subtleties here and there throughout the movie from items hanging in the rear view mirror to lines such as "more than meets the eye" Even though the characters look different their voices were cast almost identical to the cartoon and the personalities were definitely the same. I would definitely pay to watch this movie and look forward to the second one. I do wish that more characters mainly autobots were shown. However the graphics and special effects were pretty amazing to see them transform and also do battle. I guess the sequel will reveal more of the original characters
