The chick is hot, humour was good, and the action kicked arse. Most importantly (here I go into geek mode), the whole Archangel-like stance of Optimus Prime in his beliefs and execution of upholding Good was retained in the movie. A shame that you didn't get to see the more bad-ass side of Megatron. Oh, and I loved the classic quotes that paid homage to the series: Optimus Prime saying "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" and "One shall stand, one shall fall", Megatron's "Maggot!" and "You disappointment me again, Starscream!" calls. And of course the stupid cheesy "More than meets the eye" quote by Spike, which was just totally ad-hoc. Only fan complaint was that the tank should've been Brawl, not Devastator. Devastator should've been... Devastator. It's good enough to make me dig out my old horrible Transformers DVDs and see how crap the cartoons really were! (Well, at least Season One).

Such comments are as like to stir open letters to the community and I warrant I am most vexed by it ! Regards Ivor Legova. Sir,

I feel I must complain; comments about replacing Tom Cruise have resulted in me expurgating my breakfast cereal upon my keyboard in a most inappropriate fashion. Such comments are as like to stir open letters to the community and I warrant I am most vexed by it !
