Transformers: A Thoroughly Pleasant Suprise

By Daniel Miessler on July 5th, 2007: Tagged as Cartoons | Movies

Transformers was one of the best movies that I’ve seen in many years. I was completely overwhelmed by its greatness. It was uniquely unorthodox — switching almost violently from a comedy to an Armagaedon-style drama — and then back again.

Most notable, however, were the action scenes. The only thing that compares was the first time I saw Matrix. The car chases, air combat, and robot-vs-robot battles were sheer inspired genius, and it even had a hottie and a romance to add flavor.

9/10.

Bumblebee is a Camaro and Megatron isn't a gun, call it a great movie, or a new live/animated classic, but please, in certain fans minds, it will never be the Transformers.

Just another childhood memory violated and trashed by modern day revisionary film making to sell products...

p.s. and this time, the stuff they are selling costs THOUSANDS, not a couple bucks for a metal figure.

There's a big difference between technical deviations and violating the spirit of the thing. I think the changes were consistent with the feel, even if it did change a few things.
