A great live action take on the classic toys

It is rare that a live action movie actually captures the feel of a cartoon. Michael Bay's Transformers does just this and more.
The movie has an updated feel as the action starts off in Quatar. However, the old school fan is pulled right in with the first Decepticon's transformation. Ahh, that old sound from the cartoon. :)
A number of other toss backs to the origional cartoon appear through-out the entire movie. Like Prime's line "At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall". Ah, memories.
The best part of the movie is how ALL the Transformers feel so to scale. The animations are so flawless that you cannot even tell that they are CGI'ed. When they wander through a town or during a battle they look true to size.
My only complaint was poor Bumblebee being turned into a Camero instead of a VW bug. Yet, they toss in a 70's style bug when we are introduced to Bumblebee so Bay once again pays homage to the origional.
The movie storyline is great, the DVD is also great. This is a neat one to own.
5/5
