Childhood Ruined

Rating: 4/10 (25 March 2012)

Okay, I'm going to flat out say that this is the worst live action adaptation of a popular 80s cartoon and toy franchise. Transformers was my favorite show from my childhood. (Even though they were reruns.) I collected the toys, (G1 and Beast Wars) and watched any adaptation from Beast Wars up to Armada and Energon. When i heard about this movie, my thought was OK better see it. I was dead wrong. After watching what i saw it officially killed my childhood. There were some good things about it, the special effects were cool, the voice cast was awesome especially hearing Peter Cullen's voice again. (I was happy bout that.) The downsides were a combination of the following: poor storyline, very bad cheesy acting and Megan Fox. What was her purpose of the movie? NONE. Sex appeal, OK but in this case, NO! Another downside is the fact that out of all the transformers, they leave out the 2 best ones: Hot Rod and Cliffjumper What would have made this movie better would be better story writing and character development.
