Man! Whatta rush.
Anybody out there that didn’t expect this movie to suck serious monkey bone? Michael Bay, a “re-imagining,” big budget, live action, character redesigns? The list of probable catastrophic failures goes on and on.
Surprise! The old sumbitch made a first-rate movie. For one thing, he seems to have gotten a real writer to do the script. And let his casting department make intelligent choices. The end result was less a movie about talking robots that turn into cars and stuff than a movie that just happens to have talking robots turning into cars at opportune moments.
How frigging amazing is that?
