Like many New York City latchkey kids of the ‘80s, I grew up on the toys and cartoons of The Transformers franchise. So I was guardedly excited to see the new, live-action movie by Michael Bay. Microwave review: More harmless “Iron Giant” than edgy “Ghost In The Shell,” special effects that astound, and a script that felt like a weekend rush job.
Not the greatest ride, but for tech biz devotees, the surprise Easter Egg was the starring role of eBay in the film. Although a central plot device in the film involves items sold on eBay, the company’s name is mentioned so many times, I found myself wondering when eBay CEO Meg Whitman would get her cameo and ride out on the back of Megatron.
