Does the original animated series proud, but...

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2007)

I watched Transformers was I was in my early 20's and loved them. When the teasers started appearing, I made plans to see the film when it opened. I was in the second row of a packed theater for the first showing on the 4th of July. Yeah baby! The movie itself didn't disappoint. It was Godzilla 2000 meets Independence Day- plenty of action, sarcasm, and unbelievable environments. You ever seen a two ton robot deliver a one-liner? You will here. What impressed me most is how true the writers were to the Decepticons and Autobots. Except for a few new curveballs thrown into to keep the plot credible(?), all my favorite characters were there.
Optimus Prime rocks!
