Over the 4th of July holiday I had a chance to get check out the new Transformers movie. Over the past several months I had major reservations about the movie. For starters I’m a bit of a cannon purist when it comes to my favorite shows, movies, comic etc. Being that the movie has noting to do with the Generation 1 series I was really impressed. Peter Cullen makes a return as the voice actor of Optimus Prime and Hugo Weaving as Megatron. This is very much so a Michael Bay movie, which is reflected in his filming style and use of product placement. The movie is long and it takes some time to build up the major plot points, but if the time was trimmed it wouldn’t be as good. They do a good job and I wasn’t bored. The fight scenes are incredible. I give it a 4 out of 5.
