Accurately Imperfect, Perfectly Inaccurate.

Those who have watched the movie offers different views on it. But it all depends between a real Transformers fan who is fanatic of the flick since back in the days with those who merely enjoys a highly-enhanced-computer-battery-movie-for-the-fuck-sake-of-entertainment.
I myself have yet to watch it but I did come acrosss an interesting article on New Straits Times dated 28-06-2007. An outlook and comments / Critiques offered by Lim Yeh Ern.
Here's some extraction of the article :
" Casual movie-goers would probably rate it as good, action packed movie but die-hard fans would probably feel somewhat " CHEATED " ( YES CHEATED !! ) as Bay sways away from the actual 1980's Transformers storyline and twists it around. "
" Also the animated Transformers never really seems to remain true to their roots as n the case of the resurrected Bumble Bee as Gold Bug. Instead of a Volkswagen Bettle, Bumble Bee is now a Camaro. The reason Bumble Bee can be soe close to humans is because he was physically one of the smallest Autobots. A CAMARO isn't exactly a smalll and physically, Bumble's lumbering giant ! "
" Decepticon as a MUSTANG POLICE CAR ?!!! Typically, Autobots are every day vehicles and can't fly while the Decepticons are aerial or military vehicles which can. "
" Star Scream is now an F-22 Raptor instead of an F-15 Eagle while Megatron, who doesn't even bear much resemblance to the 1980's Megatron is now an UNIDENTIFIED JET FIGHTER INSTEAD OF A LASER GUN !!! "
" Probably the only Transformer that has been faithfully reproduced right down to the voice is OPTIMUS PRIME ! "
So yea, there you go dear readers. I would proudly claim myself as a die hard fan since the 80's, I even got the 80's Transformer's movie ! So yea I'm a little disappointed with the review but I bet the graphics deserves whole lot of credit so yea, it kinda compliment each other. But again I'm sure the Bay had his own ideas and imaginations in his head, so yea, it's his own creativitiy and it should be noted as well.
For those who merely watched the flick for the fuck sake of it I, now understand when you say " It's a kick ass movie, the best flick, yada..yada and all other BULLSHIT. But hey, you guys are entitled to your opinion, after all, the main objective of the movie is to ENTERTAIN and I'm pretty sure it didn't fail in attaining it's objective.
Anyways, after a long "vanishment" I'm back for a little break just to unbreak it any moment now. Guess the time is now.
Take care folks !
