of the transformers movie (watched)...
yupp, my childhood dream came through (albeit via CGI)
it was awesomeeeeeeee
the purists will always have a bone to pick
the story ain true enough
bumblebee shld be a small beatle
too many human scenes not enough robot ones
megatron is ugly (he is actually...)
but it was amazing really
if not for anything else
but for the fact that i actually grew up wanting to be an autobot
not a rock star, or doctor, or lawyer
but an autobot
i always dreamt as a lil boy that i will find a pair of gold bangles and when i wear them, and clang them together, i will transform into a little robot that can merge with a car as its head/weapon/engine and become a big robot.
so you can probably imagine how i was gripped to my seat the entire movie.
The scene near the end at the traffic junction, when the boy runs away with the cube to hide and it's just Prime and Megatron.. and he said
" MEGATRON!!
today...
one shall stand..
and one shall fall.. "
there was a collective gasp from the cinema audience
(actually mainly just the 25 - 35 yr old men)
those were the famous lines prime utter before he was shot and damaged and eventually died in G1 transformers.
all in all, it was a dream came true for this little autobot.
and baby bought me a Mr Potato Head optimus prime
which I thought was awesome!!
i hope they make a part II
