Transformers movie... Cool stuff..

So we went to the Transformers (2) movie last Saturday. I did mention that it received rotten reviews (one I saw received a 1 & 1/2 stars.... ). I have to say I disagree with the ratings.

First off -- I KNOW when I'm going to a summer smash-em-up blockbuster type movie that I'm not expecting edification.

The plot had holes in it. Yeah. So what!

The graphics were AWESOME, the adventure / suspense / cool factor was high and it was quick moving. If it had been truly bad, I would have stopped feeling my suspension of disbelief and I didn't. There were a few kinks here and there, and I did spend a bit more time than I could have looking for where Shia LeBeouf had the cast / wrapping on his had because he rolled his car in real life and smashed it to smithereens.

Ok, I did find Megan Fox to be more of the sexpot than anything else, but frankly, it was OK by me and I know that that's what the director wanted.

It wasn't Shakespeare -- BUT -- I wasn't expecting Shakespeare.

So I was fine with the whole thing.

Son number one wants to see it again.

Maybe we will.

Movie day

I KNOW that the new Transformers movie has received ROTTEN reviews... but, since I begged my husband to rent a copy of the first movie so we could watch it (he and the boys had seen the first movie in the theater, I hadn't) and he DID rent it (and we did watch it), we are going to see the second movie today.

Together.


As a family.

Even if the ratings suck. Most likely, it's an ordinary (as in typical) action flick with lots of explosions and chase scenes, which reviewers don't care for.

I don't care. I get a day out, a movie of some kind, popcorn (with EXTRA butter-- even though I'm exploding my diet in the process) and some fun.

I'll let you know how the movie went later.
