Transformers - Or "Take that, Spider-Man 3!"

So yeah, there was this show on when I was a kid called Transformers. Based on a toy line, it was kinda cool. Toys were better than the show, though. Made of metal, back when Toys were Toys (not like the crap they make today. Cheap ass plastic, un-inspired waste of money toys. Ugh.).

Yeah, so anyway, it's a movie now. Only took roughly 20 years for technology to catch up to the imagination of the 80's to the point where they could make a decent flick based on these things.

I had heard of this live action Transformers Movie, and you know, I was kind of skeptical. Especially when I heard Michael Bay was involved. But then I saw the trailer during Spider-Man 3 (the best part of Spider-Man 3...I kid, I kid..well, sort of kid...). The trailer was great, and I saw good old Spielberg was involved, so hey, I'd give it a shot.

And it was a great film! I laughed a lot. It was full of awesome action sequences, I didn't have to be a die hard fan to know what was going on...it was all pretty straight forward. I highly recommend it. I'll buy it on DVD eventually, and that's an honor because not just anything gets into my DVD collection.

Not for the kiddies, though. Too much swearing and violence. I repeat, unless you're a bad parent, don't drag your brat to this flick.

For all the bad parents, feel free to drag your brat to the movie...and feel the wrath of all eyes upon you judging you and sentencing you to a special circle of Hell.
