Transformers


So the jury's finally back in, and I've made my decision- Transformers is now officially my favorite movie. Oh, believe me, there were a lot of close seconds(and thirds!) but this one won.

For one, the premise is that there are alien robots who come to Earth looking for their version of a savior, and then duke it out with other robots in a "giant, robotic, death match!"

Not only that, but they've got some pretty sweet names too.
Autobots: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, and Ironhide
Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Bonecrusher(my favorite), Blackout, Barricade, and Devestator/Brawl.

I mean, tell me those aren't totally awesome 80's names.

And the graphics, the music, the writing, the characters....all excellent. I can, (and have, believe me) watch this movie over and over again.

Even though this is really not my genre, I really liked it too.

I know a certain little boy who will probably join you in your multiple viewings as soon as he's old enough to watch them!
