Transformers! (Merged)

I expected this movie to be completely stupid and really didn't want to see it. My step-mom got free tickets to a preview screening last week and I figured I might as well see it free so as not to have to waste money to see something that looked so retarded.

Boy was I in for a surprise! The movie was just awesome- the storyline was coherent and there was tons of amusing humor just watching the Transformers being themselves. It was a million times better than I *never* expected it to be.

Seriously, go see it!

My nephew used to play with Transformers and Power Rangers all the time when he was very small. When I first saw the trailer for 'Transformers' last year, I just burst out laughing. I can't help it- in my mind, Power Rangers and Transformers symbolize campy, poorly made t.v. shows and action figures. I hope it is good, because I like Shia Lebeouf and it's nice to see him taking his career to a new level, as opposed to becoming another child actor who hits the skids.

I was big into Transformers as a kid. I took Megatron to show and tell in the 5th grade and Optimus Prime was a prized possession.

When the show came out on DVD a few years ago I made the mistake of putting it on my Netflix queue. Oh what a disappointment that was. Never has the feebleness of the juvenile mind ever been so well demonstrated.

But if it is playing on the local IMAX screen I'll be seeing it this Sunday with friends (followed by dinner at Zachary's Pizza so if the movie sucks that will be good reward).
