I'm not too keen on Transformers myself because the show is just...bad. Maybe it gets better in later seasons, but the first one has been a real pisser to get through.
However, the movie is one of my favorite things ever. The action and writing in that flick are so solid, and the music and beautiful animation are the cherries on the pile-o'-tits sundae. It's the All-American Greatest Action Flick, far as I'm concerned.
