It was not the cartoon, it could never have been the cartoon, but it took a concept made infinitely adored by throngs of children in the 80’s and reinvented it in such a spectacular and successful way for those same people, now 30 years later. There were enough tributes and throwbacks to the original series, and enough glitz and glamor to make most everything feel like it just belonged. so Optimus Prime had lips, big deal. Bumblebee got a MUCH needed upgrade from the cartoon, but he still performed the same role, he was just super badass to boot. All the Transformers were just so cool, and so slick, and they moved and transformed how I would have wanted them to – from slow, deliberate transforms, to high intensity, nearly instant jumping transformations. I really did enjoy it, and that’s all that really matters in the end.

Satan’s Camaro… hehehe
I went because Jeremy wanted to see it. Liz went because Ben wanted to see it. Sara went because the reat of us were going and we all thought it rocked. I was very pleasently surprised.
yeah, it rocked hard core!
I’m so glad they got the original voice for Optimus Prime, too!
Wow! I didn’t realize that.
They tried to get the original voice for Megatron, too, but his voice had aged too much. So instead they used Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix or Elrond from LotR).
That kinda sucks. The voice was still good though. Liz said she was impressed with Megatron’s voice. Thought it was a really good “bad guy” voice.
