While the new Transformers movie has fanboys drooling, the studio wallets swelling, and the critics ready to shoot themselves, one thing I noticed about the film made me smile.

Frank Welker has voice work in this newest film as a key character, and I think that is awesome. We have both Peter Cullen AND Frank Welker doing what they do best on the biggest stage ever. That's some cool movie magic in my opinion.

I can't differentiate between any of the Transformers movies. 

Frank Welker is one reason to watch this.

BTW, did anyone hear about Shia LaBeouf?

@crow: Yeah, I read about that. Kid is messed up and can't keep out of trouble. He needs to get out of Hollywood before it swallows him whole and spits him out.

Just like it did every other Hollywood star/starlet.

I really enjoyed the movie. I call the Bayformers guilty pleasures. I like my senseless explosions and action if it involves giant robots and/or Giant monsters.

Agreed. Nobody's going in there expecting Shakespeare. You know what you're going to get. Sometimes, that upsets you when his name gets attached to a property you like. But you've got to give it to the man, he has perfected the job of the big budget action flick. These are immense productions, with massive budgets, sets, egos, etc. and he somehow makes them work. They aren't always good... or even fair... but he gets the job done.

I go in there knowing the story is gonna suck and the action is what drags me into it.

hopefully the autobots and decepticons won't have metallic dingleberries like in the previous films. i don't know what it is about michael bay giving giant robots their own genitalia. maybe he's just trying to be as weird as japan

@Ben: I never noticed any Transformers with "genitalia", but I can tell you that "dingleberries" are not "genitalia".
