How many times have you met a fellow hacker with nipples like that and with no acne? <BR/><BR/>I was hoping robots would, you know, talk n' stuff. They were like legos lying around, waiting to be rolled out. More about human than robots, what a waste.<BR/><BR/>AFAIC, this wasn't Transformers <I>per se</I>. I can't say the original series rocked (retarded plots like everywhere else), but they could at least improve on that.<BR/><BR/>I did enjoy the animation, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120072.post-34106453567226683092007-07-16T12:04:00.000-05:002007-07-16T12:04:00.000-05:00I know I'm in the minority on this, but I didn't l...I know I'm in the minority on this, but I didn't like it.

I enjoyed this movie, and I was ready to hate it. Nerdwife enjoyed this movie and she does not have a background at all with Transformers beyond helping her younger brother transform them when he couldn't. <BR/><BR/>It wasn't a great movie, but it was an enjoyable one to see on a very hot summer day.Pernoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356847785865077227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120072.post-101966029889307122007-07-09T13:25:00.000-05:002007-07-09T13:25:00.000-05:00I think the bigger issue at hand is this - The Tra...I think the bigger issue at hand is this - The Transformers, the original animated series - just wasn't very good in the first place. Why should I care about a live action tie-in for a bad animated series. Historically even when it is good source material, the translation between animated and live-action is usually bad (see 'Æon Flux')<BR/><BR/>Nostalgia has a way of putting rose-colored glasses on the world. A look back at most of that stuff from our childhoods reveals barely watchable pap with two dimensional stories and dated concepts of entertainment.<BR/><BR/>Also, I am so bored of the FX epic as a summer popcorn genre. Even if it were LSD on the screen, I'll wait for someone to loan me the DVD.AllThingsSpringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227492408705138602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120072.post-39541352822688993532007-07-09T13:08:00.000-05:002007-07-09T13:08:00.000-05:00We enjoyed it.

Earth is the battleground in a war between good and evil extraterrestrial god-like beings...
