I feel the same way, I loved the Transformer comics (the original G1 and to a degree the G2 comic series) alot more then the cartoons, though the movie had some impressive voice acting (Nimoy, Idle, Welles etc) and a certain campy charm (nothing like a battle of life and death, good and evil while some 80's hair band sings "You've got the touch, you've got the power, yeah!"😉 Though I have been a bit disappointed with all the new incarnations of late, and the more anime style of some of them.
Still, a movie could be good, depending on the storyline - the story line is everything. If they just focus on CGG or whatever make shudder at the thought this could end up like another "Final Fantasy - The Final Phantom" or whatever it was called, and the various games tie ins and the like. Still, I'll hope, and dream it happens, and caputures the feel of the original.
As long at optimus prime is badass.
And still Jewish of course. 🙂
