More than meets the eye: Anticipating the release of the Transformers movie – Part 8

Children of the 80’s rejoiced when they heard that Transformers was going to be made into a live-action movie. However, there was some concern with the announcement of director, Michael Bay, who has directed such films as Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, and The Rock. Personally, I think that Bay is the perfect choice to direct a movie about giant fighting robots, since he seems to specialize in intense, interesting and lengthy action sequences, which the Transformers movie should consist of. Eventually, the negative feedback against the film was halted with the release of an amazing theatrical trailer, which mysteriously unveiled Optimus Prime and showed some spectacular shots of Michael Bay-esque action. Finally, as the new July 2nd release date comes closer, only positive news seems to emerge as new clips and TV spots emerge almost daily. Barring any unforeseen mishap, Transformers should be the most original summer blockbuster of the year.
