Happy Fourth of July! I met it head on with a bang by catching the last full show of the new Transformers movie over at Greenbelt 3 at 11:30 PM last night with a couple of buddies. That’s just what the movie has – a lot of bang.
The expected mixed feelings discussion and comparison with the Transformers (Generation 1) cartoon series ensued over a couple of bruskies after the show. The hairline plot and loose ends are almost made up for by the overload of special effects, shallow gags, and usual tongue-in-cheek lines of yet another film in the comic-book/cartoon to live action movie genre. To enjoy this movie, switch your brain off and forget about the 80′s cartoon.
Maybe H-O-T “teenage drama queen” Megan Fox (who plays protagonist Spike’s love interest/heroine) may distract male viewers enough for us to forgive the movie’s shortcomings. Check her out as a guest in a 2004 episode of Two and a Half Men:
My sentiments exactly. Phew!
Check out Megan Fox in Transformers checking out Spike’s engine and headers (actually Bumblebee’s) while Spike checks her out:
Finally, here’s a comprehensive and professional 10-minute video of the Transformers movie with clips from the cartoon at the beginning and end. Watch it until the end to get a glimpse of Peter Cullen himself, who has always been behind the voice of Optimus Prime and countless other 80′s cartoon characters:

I wouldn’t go as far as saying it sucked. I mean, it isn’t exactly Oscar material. It’s a no brainer (trust me, you HAVE to turn off your brain), popcorn movie. Watch it to enjoy seeing the Autobots and Decepticons transform (in very complicated ways) and battle it out in a live action movie.
Forget the stupid robots and watch it just to see Megan Fox.
The entire script is so cliche.
