On Vox: Transformers!
Awesome. It was just cheesy enough that you didn't think they were taking themselves too seriously. CG was fantastic, action was great, and there was PLENTY of fan-service. I remember quite a while back they were doing a web-poll for what old school Optimus Prime quotes should they put into the script, and I caught several. ("Autobots, Roll Out!", "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings", etc.) Peter Cullen was great, though I'd wished Scatman Crothers was still alive to voice Jazz and when Bumblebee finally spoke at the end I wished they would have brought back Dan Gilvezan.
All-in-all, excellent translation. I loved how wide open they left it in the end for sequels (which I think I've read is the plan), and if I don't get to see it again in the theaters I will surely be first in line to pick up the DVD.
