Transformers Geek Out, The Revenge, er Review

I just saw this movie, and yes, Michael Bay messed this up. Just wait for the DVD. Then you'll be able to take bathroom breaks whenever you want, you can actually stop and rewind the fighting sequences to find out when Optimus Prime whipped out that big ass bayonet to slice up a made-up Decepticon ninja-style, and fast-forward through every useless scene with Anthony Anderson in it. And I do mean every scene. The military came off looking good, but you'll still have to wait for the DVD to find any homage to the original cartoon's theme song. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg seem to hate fans of source material. At least Peter Cullen, who was on the original animated series, did Optimus Prime's voice, but Hugo Weaving was unrecognizable as Megatron. If you were going to process his voice that much, you could have saved some dough and gotten someone cheaper. And Starscream's voice did not have that annoying scratchiness. Oh well, I only paid matinee prices to temporarily lose my hearing from all that clanking metal. Expect the DVD specials to crow about the sound effects: "We just took some old railroad tracks and hammered the sh*t out of 'em!" And there were plot holes big enough to drive a, hmm, an Optimus Prime through. No real room for a sequel, so I can wait another twenty years to see the next ruination of my childhood memories.
