Tranform and roll out!

YOU MUST GO SEE THE TRANSFORMERS!!! Awesome movie.

Peter Cullen returning as the voice of Optimus Prime is awesome. Without him, the movie would have sucked. His voice talents are also featured--as narrator, among others--on my other favorite cartoon from when I was a kid--Voltron. Maybe they should make a movie out of that. Voltron versus the stupid knock-off Power Rangers. I'd pay to see Voltron kick the Power Rangers' a$$!! :)

Now, where's a GI Joe movie?? Or at least why isn't it on DVD yet?

Can't wait for the Transformers sequel...

Must find the original series on DVD. All other versions suck.
