The first Transformers was just a cartoon on steroids and a high budget commercial for Hasbro and Chevy. I'm not saying that the Potter movies are instant classics, but at least they have a plot and the characters have some depth. Many Potter movie fans have also read the books. You CAN'T say that about Transformers fans because it's based on cheap toys that turned into a lousy cartoon. Then again, anyone that liked the first Transformers have probably never read a book because they spent their time playing with their robot dolls and watching cartoons. I bet you can't wait for the Stretch Armstrong movie to come out. Shut your big Yappers!!!
