Curiosity abounds. Rumors are doing the rounds. The trailer of ‘Transformers’ has sure got us all excited. It’s great and original, unlike many other toy movies. And what better day to release it than on that most-celebrated American holiday of the year.

So this 4th of July is all set for the moviemaker and he doesn’t need to worry of a thing and can sit back and plan his next expensive mega-venture what with his movie already having tickled the curious bones of innumerable movie-buffs worldwide.

So what does this movie really have to offer the incorrigible cinema-goer? Well, for starters, it’s a movie based on Hasbro’s “robots in disguise” toys introduced in the 1980s. Hasbro is all out to make Transformers a household name with all the promotion and licensing work it’s been up to. Of course, it’s great for them as they own the brand and don’t have to worry about paying royalties and stuff.

The cool thing is that the movie has already won an award much before it has even released. Okay, no, don’t get thinking; I’m not talking of any prescreening at the Oscars. They’ve won an award from MTV for being the best summer movie you haven’t seen (now that’s outrageous, I think, but then that’s my opinion).

Daring and original, this is definitely one movie me n my friends are waiting for. I’ve followed up on the entire transformer cartoon series. So this one definitely promises to be a robot-addicts delight. Well, how much of its promise it manages to achieve, we will see.

We sure have seen some disastrous attempts at movies being made on toys. Here´s hoping this one’s a cliché-buster. (NiRa)
