80's meets HD

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2007)

Michael Bays' version of the 1980's Transformers is exciting, fun and enough of a tribute to satisfy fans of the 1984 cartoon. The story was engaging enough to keep you interested and every transformer scene was eye candy for every "geek" in the theater. Shia La Beouf's acting is endearing and humorous for the target audience. Peter Cullen, the original animated voice for Optimus Prime, is recast and slightly redressed for his live action debut. Fan favorite Bumble Bee, Jazz, Ratchet and Ironhide also appeared to my complete enjoyment. Makers of the movie are obviously fans! I really enjoyed being able to share my childhood with my sons. In a summer of blockbusters, this movie is one that will have me back again and again.
