The new “Transformers” series starts out this week with the very 80s strategy of a five-part miniseries. This is one of those franchises we generally tend to ignore (Yet inexplicably we generally fall all over ourselves for GI Joe), but Republiboy (Age 12) has stepped forward to cover the series for us.

PLAY BY PLAY

[NOTE: This is a review by Republiboy, age 11, who’d never seen Empire Strikes Back before, and didn’t like Star Wars at all. Just for point of reference, his favorite SF movie of all time is "Babylon 5: A Call To Arms."]

I thought this movie was far better than the previous one. I liked C3PO a lot less, however, and Chewie was a lot less entertaining. I enjoyed the sequence on Hoth, I personally feel that was the best part. I really didn’t like any of the things that happened on Deggobah, and Yoda was rather annoying. But I must say, I really enjoyed the movie as a whole.
