Some things don't improve with age
I loved this movie when I saw it in the sixth grade...the first 10 minutes are almost repeated exactly in flashback. I guess I didn't notice that the first two times.I seemed to remember the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron a mega-war in itself. It wasn't much of anything the second.While it had a talented cast of voices, they didn't contribute much to the story. Leonard Nimoy didn't even seem to take his part seriously. Just scream in the mic and get out, and don't call me Mr. Spock, seemed to be his motivation.On the good side, the animation was superb, even more impressive for the times, before the digital revolution. The soundtrack was also very good and fitting for the movie.I'll always remember the Transformers fondly; they were an integral part of my boyhood. But there's more important things now, and the Transformers certainly aren't one of them.I guess some things don't improve with age.
