Aww, holding hands. How sweet!Okay, if you were even remotely a fan of Transformers growing up, you need to see this movie. Michael Bay did a great job. Yes, lots of stuff blows up. Lots of giant robots fight all over. Yes, they talk. They got Peter Cullen (who did the Optimus Prime voice on the original cartoons) to do this film. Just awesome all around.

Of course, if you’re a “realistic” film type of guy/gal, you’ll think this movie sucks. In that case, stay away. And give me back my action figure!

Shia LeBeouf did an outstanding job of acting in a role that could’ve easily stooped to cheap humor and bland acting. I got hooked watching Even Stevens (yes, I admit it) because of him.

And dude, Agent Smith aka V aka Elrond does the voice of Megatron! Hah!

In closing, as my friends put it.. my favorite part of the film was when they TRANSFORMED.

Man I’m a geek.

P.S. – Pacific Theatres, you really need to work on your:

  • Sticky floors
  • Broken seats
  • Terrible sound system

If you could do that, that’d just be super-duper. K thx bye.

Just like Peter Cullen will always be the voice of Optimus Prime, Frank Welker will always be the voice of Megatron. That they couldn't get him really annoys me but I'll get over it :)

I think I'm gonna go check this flick out this weekend. I was too big a fan as a kid not to.

I heard that due to scheduling conflicts, Frank couldn't audition in person. But he sent in an audition tape, and either due to his voice not quite sounding as good as it used to, or just it not fitting the role... they didn't go with him.

I don't really remember how Megatron sounded back in the day, but Optimus Prime's voice is engrained into my subconscious. Hah. So I wasn't that bummed.
