On This Day in 2007: Remembering TRANSFORMERS...

Optimus Prime is ready to brawl in TRANSFORMERS.

It was 15 years ago today that Michael Bay unleashed the live-action versions of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Co. on the big screen with his first of five Transformers movies.

Transformers was my favorite film of 2007—due to it being as action-packed and goofy as Independence Day (my favorite flick of 1996), Steve Jablonsky creating an epic music score for this movie, and Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox actually winning me over with their onscreen chemistry.

What are other reasons as to why Transformers is an awesome film? Because it's about a nerdy high school kid who inadvertently buys a vintage sports car that turned out to be a giant ass-kicking alien robot in disguise...and that giant ass-kicking alien robot helped that nerdy kid get with the hottest girl in his high school at the end. Gotta love Hollywood!

Despite what Stephen King said about watching Transformers, I intend to see it again at the theater a week from today. Just like with Men in Black today, Fathom Events will host a 15-year anniversary screening of the Bay-directed blockbuster film on July 10. Can't wait!
