Do you get the title? Reee-view, Deee-View. That’s as cool as locker buddies!
Anyway, I finally got my hands on the Transformers DVD, and I thought I’d share my opinion of it in DVDeview form. Anyway, the DVD special edition is definitely the way to go if you’re a die-hard fan of the movie, but if you just really want the movie, go with the standard edition. The box looks great, with the DVD box itself just having Optimus Prime on the front and Megatron on the back, with a slidable cover that has Transformers 2-Disc Special Edition wrote on the side. Pretty sweet. The first disc has your movie and a commentary by Micheal Bay on there which is really nice. He even mentions Transformers 2. The second disc comes with all of the special features, divided into three sections: Our World, which covers the humans, Their War, which covers the robots, and More Than Meets the Eye, which covers the amazing Scorponok attack, trailers, and concept art. Overall, I loved the movie, I loved the DVD. I personally just loved watching the movie again without the #1 Most Annoying Person Sitting Next To Me. I heard jokes while watching the DVD I didn’t hear in the theater. They called the cube the AllSpark? (5 out of 5)

My Favorite movie so far this year has been Transformers, mainly due to its kickbutt action, awesomeness, and Scorponok. But for those of you who didn’t get to see this awesome movie in theaters, here’s your chance to finally find out what you missed. The story follows Sam Witwicky, a regular teenage boy trying to get a cool car, pass high school, and get the girl of his dreams. That is, until he realizes his new car is a Autobot named Bumblebee on a mission to save the world along with the other Autobots. The DVD comes with a sweet cover for the Special Edition, but the regular edition could be better. Anyway, this DVD comes packed with special features, like
Commentary with Michael Bay
The Story Sparks
Human Allies
I Fight Giant Robots
Battleground
Rise of the Robots
Autobots Roll Out
Decepticon’s Strike
Inside the AllSpark
From Script to Sand: The Scorponock Attack
And Concept Art!
Overall, this looks like an awesome DVD for any fan of the movie to check out. I personally can’t wait to pop it into my DVD player and enjoy. I’ll leave my opinion of it in a comment on this post later. This DVD rolls out on DVD and HD DVD October 16.

This is a new post series I’ll be doing covering the great DVDs of great shows or great movies. I hope you enjoy.
One of my favorite TV Shows is Heroes, a show where ordinary people get extrardinary abilities, and I personally cannot wait to get my hands on the Heroes Season 1 DVD. This bargain of a DVD set sells for as cheap as $40. The set will come wtih an extended pilot with a brand new hero, the engineer, who was later revised into Ted. Who was killed by Sylar. Go figure. It will also come with commentaries, behind the scenes, and much, much more. If your a Heroes fan, and you have $40 to spend, spend it on this bad boy.
