transformers

saw the movie last night and all i can say is, yummie!

the movie is about, if some one doesn't know, about decepticons and autobots, robots from a planet far away that comes to earth in search for an energy source, known as "allstar", or "the cube". and the battle between them, as well as with the humans. autobots are good, with no intention on hurting humans, while decepticons do not care for anything other than control over universe.

i had very high expectations on this movie. yesterday i was counting down the minutes and i was almost exploding with excitement. a couple of weeks ago, i streamed some of the first episodes of transformers, just to freshen up on the plot and characters. which helped alot. but with that in mind, i was a bit disappointed. the robots had to human-like faces, which kind of took the edge off a bit. in the cartoons, optimus prime had just a big jaw, not mouth with lips. and bumblebee was a volkswagen beetle, not a racer. the other thing bothering me, was the corny humor that was used all of the time. sure, you laugh a bit, but you wonder why they really try to make it funny in between. some of the jokes are just not necessary. the movie could have been better without it, i think. had it been me, i would have probably made the movie a bit darker.
in the cartoon, the autobots and decepticons came in a spaceship that crashed on earth several thousand years ago. the robots "died", but were put together by the spaceship's computer in modern time. the spaceship computer took images of our vehicles and built the robots after those images. in the movie, the robot's have themselves a scanner that can make them take any shape they want. which is a bit cooler.
if i'm suppose to be objective about this film, then i'd say it's a nice action movie, with awesome special effects. cause the special effects are really out of this world! but as an old transformers fan, i can't say this movie is anything other than good! it's a long sought for film and i'm glad it finally came!
