Transformers was sick! In a good way, of course. The special effects and the nostalgia were through the roof. I loved it ().
There are whiners. Fanboys and ignorant moviegoers scoff at the cheesy dialogue, over-the-top, oozing drama, and the melodramatic music. Hey, get this: it's TRANSFORMERS. This isn't about the holocaust. It's about DNA-based robots from space who wage a war on Earth. It's good versus evil of the flavor of the 1980s. If you never watched the cartoon, I can see how you might roll your eyes, but still. Get with it.
I felt a sweet rush when Peter Cullen's inimitable voice first boomed from Optimus Prime (he also provided the voice for the cartoon in the 1980s). I need to go dig my old toys out of the attic.
