Yes, the third Transformers movie. Let me be frank, I'm not really too picky on some occasions, and when it comes to those giant transforming robot stranded on Earth fighting each other, I'm not going to put up to much of a fuss about other stuff that may be lacking, as long as the giant transforming robots show up and tear chunks of metal out of each other. Which they do, in spades.
I liked this new movie. We see Optimus Prime in a more complete capacity, for those who care; he's tugging along his trailer that old school fans will recognize, it looks exactly right! (and it doesn't just disappear when he transforms, either)
I thought this movie was a nice recovery from the disappointment of Revenge of the Fallen, but there is so much action, it's exhausting. I suspect it will work better on DVD when you can watch the movie for an hour and take a break before coming back to it.
What really makes it worth it for those who remember the old '80s show is how it nicely incorporates story elements from two memorable shows, but does the material in a more logical and effective way. It also looks like some inspiration has come from the newer comic series from IDW as well, the sort of thing you really want to see happen in a movie like this.
Well, I was suitably entertained, anyway.
