A Great Movie with one HUGE drawback for me

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2007)

I have to say that this movie really started off strong and I thought that it kept up the intensity the whole way. This is really and 8 out of 10 for me but it had to lose at least one point for a big drawback in my opinion. Optimus Prime does NOT have a mouth. He has a shield over his mouth. Every poster showed him the right way, but them come movie time he has an exposed mouth and the shield only covers it when he is fighting. Are you kidding me, this may be really minor to some people but Optimus is my favorite character and he has been since I was a kid (mainly because of his look). It's like Michael Bay said "I believe that people can suspend reality enough to believe that cars and equipment can turn into robots, but it's a little far fetched to believe that one could talk without a mouth". UGH. He doesn't have a mouth plain and simple and for whatever reason that obviously has really gotten on my nerves. Other than that it had great Transformer action, which is all I was looking for. So at least something was done right.
