My childhood consisted of many things...people, places, things....but what i remember most was the weekday afternoon cartoons. As everyone who is my age or around there knows ..we had the best cartoons..hands down, from G I Joe, to Thundercats, He-Man, and more. The eighties redefined kids cartoons and became the standard for years to come....
Look at Optimus Prime there ..isnt he awesome
!!!!. The transformers opened last week and made a gagillian dollars..but who cares. For me and probably for a lot of my generation, just hearing that john wayne swaggering voice of Optimus, transformed me back to my childhood and made me giggle with glee. So the story wasnt all that..who cares, the cartoon story sucked a whole lot, but thats not what i came to see. I came to see giant flippin robots!!!..the robots i grew up with...the toys i played with and eventually broke..ahem.
That being said i loved the movie..I didnt agree with some things , but over all i think it was done right. Harry over at AICN complained about the story.....look if you want a story go see Evening..leave the robots alone. There were many references to the cartoon throughout. The old yellow vw beatle getting a smack from the updated bumblebee..great!. dialogue straight off the cartoon..it was a fun ride and it also set up more to come..oh yeah the robots were incredible..my hats off to the effects guys...but one of the best parts was a really great trailor for an untitled movie....looked amazing..youll see.
