I have not really looked forward to a movie since Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. And the above movie seems to fit with the terrific thirties crowd.

Rofl, now that was a blast from the past! I wonder if the movie is going to be the way the original cartoon was or a newer version?

a mix, but more based on the originals than anything else. Bumblebee is a camaro because VW(originators of the hitler mobile) supposedly does not want their vehicles in a "war" movie. I don't know if that is correct or not. Optimus Prime is not a cab over semi and his color scheme has changed a little. But overall he looks ok. And the producers did go with Peter Cullen the original voice of Optimus Prime. Spielberg is behind the movie, so it has some muscle. There are concerns, but I think it should be pretty good.

You need to check out the trailer that was released 12/20/06.

There are two trailers out. The newer one actually has some pretty cool shots. I am not totally sold on the Optimus prime robot mode, it is a little too rounded for my taste, but that is a minor quibble.
