Anyone who is a true fan of the 80's cartoon show should be very disappointed with this movie. None of the transformers have any personality. Only Optimus even slightly resembles the cartoon character (same voice actor, etc). The plot is horrible. The acting is horrible. Watching Shia LeBeouf act is like trying not to cringe when someone rakes their nails across a blackboard! How did this actor get to act in the next Indiana Jones movie? He sucks!Why did John voight sign on for this travesty? The effects are mediocre at best. Almost all of the transformers look nothing like what they did on the show. Note to the director-Megatron isn't supposed to transform into a plane! The humor was almost non-existant. Needless to say, I almost walked out on this piece of garbage. It's definately made for people with short attention spans who just want fast action. True fans of the cartoon show-please!!! Stay away! You'll waste over 2 hrs of your life!
