I’m torn. I had a great time a few hours ago when I watched Transformers on the opening night, so you might ask why I feel torn? The thing is, on the one hand the trailers were great, the action sequences were great and the FX were impressive, but on the other hand why was there so many jokes? Lots of them really made me laugh, especially some of the in-jokes for those of us already familiar with the Autobots and the Decepticons. I know that the other jokes are there for the kids but I did hope that it would be a little bit more mature, for a while there it really felt lika a kids movie (which it probably is BTW).
Here’s my suggestions for an enhanced cut of the movie; add more shots from Cybertron that exposes more of the backstory, less time playing hide and seek in a backyard and definitely get rid of the jokes with various creatures peeing on each other.
But hey, on a whole I really did have a great time! Did you enjoy the Transformer comics when you were a kid? Did you enjoy playing with any of the toys? If the answer is yes to any of those two questions you should definitely go and visit your local movie theatre, this is a movie that you should experience on a big screen!
My rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars, and I’m looking forward to the (probably) inevitable sequels!
great post!!! Im not a transformer fan but i’ve watch it and found this movie really nice and cool…
