Well...better than the first one

Rating: 4/10 (13 December 2010)

Considering that I couldn't even watch past the first 30 minutes of the 2007 Transformers movie, this one is infinitely better by comparison. That said...it still is a silly concept. The Transformers franchise just doesn't adapt well to a movie in my opinion. Cartoons, kids toys, sure. Not mega budget Hollywood movies that we are supposed to take seriously. For real fans, here's another spin-off that actually makes sense: a Limited Edition Transformers Jacket from Core Gear. The Xip3 jacket transforms from a polar-fleece lined jacket with a water-resistant shell into a backpack or a pillow (great for hiking/camping/urban trekking). Check it out here...only a few of these are left (and they are numbered individually as collectors items). http://budurl.com/transf . At least this a functional implementation of the Transformer concept...rather than a desperate attempt to resurrect and monetize an old cartoon.
