Transformers! (Merged)

blueerica · 07-02-2007, 10:16 AM

Who's going to brave the possible disappointment and go see it. I probably won't be able to see it tonight since I probably won't get out of class until 10, and most showings are for 8 and 8:30 (which I find incredibly lame... it can't even be considered midnight anywhere in the United States... boo.) There is a Long Beach AMC that has it at 10 (I probably wouldn't make it in time) and 11:20.

So, I guess what I mean is that I probably won't be catching any showings tonight.

Anyone else planning to? Anyone else want to be the guinea pig and say yea or nay to the flick?

My friend and her husband are going to see it on the 4th. I was going to go but shiny fireworks got my attention instead.

If you go into this movie with expectations of shiny transforming robots that blow stuff up you'll love it. Anything else and you'll be disappointed.

I'm going in anticipation of a very wrong crush on Shia LeBeouf. It's just wrong. I admit it. (I should scan the picture of him in EW.. or find it somehow online)

That, and I'm just hoping this film is more than meets the eye. If the Bumblebee that was at the 2006 Comicon was any indication....

Oh, and yes I was a big fan of the Transformers throughout the 1980s. It's not just a too-young piece of man-meat that's attracting me there.

...oh, you mean the MOVIE....

Nah, I'm not going to see it. If I get to anything it's going to be Ratatouille.

I'm thinking we can blame our beloved Disney for this 8pm crap, since they started the recent trend by doing that with POTC:AWE.

That being said, I'm too old to stay up for midnight showings, so I appreciate the fact that I'll be seeing the flick at tonight's 8pm. I'm going in expecting/hoping for a fun summer blockbuster full of giant robots blowing stuff up action. I'd like it to be more than that, but then i remind myself that the show was always just a really cool toy comercial. I mean, even killing off so many characters in the '86 film was just a means of clearing the way for the new line of toys.

Speaking of the '86 film... I had friends over to watch it last night as an apetizer for tonight's movie outing... cause we're all just a bunch of geeks.

You know, the only reason Duke didn't die in the G.I. Joe film was due to the disappointing <cough> reaction from fans over the death of Optimus Prime. The G.I. Joe flick, which was due to come out just prior to Transformers, found even more delays as they worked to not have Duke die. I think he just went into a coma, right?

And no, I did not just type that. I'm not *that* big of a geek.

If I recall, we never see Duke again, but one of the other characters either talks to him on the phone or mentions his condition. Perhaps I'll rewatch that one again soon.

I figure that since I was forced to view Yugioh, the Movie, and SpongeBob the Movie in the theater, I should have an automatic pass for this one. I have offered to lend out Nick to a few friends who want to see it.

I just talked to Fej and we are going late tomorrow night. I love summer blockbusters and have no expectations except a cute Shia LeBeouf (nothing wrong with a crush on him BE)
