I watched the Transformer movie four times and I did not get the feel of the origin. This Michael Bay’s Transformer was really a big disappointment for me. So was his movie Pearl Harbour.
The most disappointment of all, there was no original transformer soundtrack in the movie, not at all. Stupid of me to to even expect a techno or remix.
In the movie, the character of the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime greatly differ from the origin. So was the character of Megatron, the Decepticon leader. When the transformers transformed, the transforming sound was also not the same form the origin and that made the transformer so fake, like pirated stuffs.
In the movie, lot of main characters were missing from the beginning especially from the Decepticon. To make it more like the transformer rather than other sci-fi movie, the Decepticon main characters only appeared almost at the end. I find this damn lame.
Another icon of the Transformer was Starscream always trying to lead the Decepticon was missing. The main human characters in the original Transformer was father and son, not boyfriend with sporty Bumble Bee flirting with babe.
When you watched Resident Evil, you could feel the origin of the video game. Mission Impossible kept the theme song and icon stunts from the origin.
When I watch this movie again, I would not consider as a Transformer movie. I would treat it like another robot show fighting to save the world.
My verdict, it was a movie about transformable robots and not Transformers. What a transformers robots in disguise.
