This was the movie to see.  You don't go to a movie like Transformers and expect a masterpiece of drama, you expect an explosion packed robot-destruction fest.  Transformers delivered on the robot massacres.

THINGS THIS MOVIE CONTAINED: Robots trashing stuff, Robo-duels, massive amounts of people getting slaughtered, a Transformer urination scene (seriously, it's in there.)

THINGS THIS MOVIE DID NOT CONTAIN:  Ronald Reagan, Darth Barbie, Transformer love making.  They also took out the scene where the Transformers hustle people for money in a dingy pool hall, which I remember so vividly from the cartoon.

The Review:  It's the Transformers themselves, rendered with incredible CGI, that really make this movie.  The Transformers have personalities and emotions, but most importantly they look real.  They feel real.  The actors did fine and delivered well on comedic lines, but who really cares about the actors in a film like this?  The only one I'd really note is Peter Cullen, who voiced the original Optimus Prime (Leader of the Autobots, the good Transformers) for the cartoon.  His voice fits perfectly for the character, and satisfies the old fans at the same time.  Just don't go in expecting Shakespeare.  Transformers has many corny lines, but they work because it doesn't take itself too seriously.  It understands what it is, and it embraces it. 

Complaints:  My only complaints would be not enough torn off limbs and ferocious monster mauling, but you can't have everything. 

On a side note: The Ninja Master actually met Optimus Prime and bested him in unarmed combat.  It was not easy.
