I finally saw this, after all the anticipation, and was horribly, horribly disappointed. Visually, it was awesome; the transformations were excellent, and all the explosions were top-notch Michael Bay. But the story was insipid, full of holes, and the characters -- including the Transformers -- were just awful. The only great part was getting Optimus Prime's original voice, which was frigging awesome. Other than that, I'd rather watch the 1986 movie than this one again.
