Transformers

Eh, it was ok, but I've seen so many Michael Bay movies in the same mold they're getting a little old. He uses the same formula over and over again, and I don't really think he gets much out of actors, and leans heavily on $100+ millions of dollars of special effects. Maybe I'm just getting tired of his movies.

Movie was awesome. I went in thinking that it was going to be a bit cheesy, but it wasnt at all. It was a little darker than the cartoon and the OG movie, but that just made it better. Cant wait for a sequel.

On a side note, I got lucky enough to see them filming this movie back in 06' on a freeway they are building just a city over. I was driving home from work and saw an awesome cop car (which turned out to be Barricade), then I saw two tricked out Rescue Hummers (which were Ratchet), then I saw some guys taking a huge car cover off a chrome, red/blue flamed big rig and though "HOLY SHIT! ITS OPTIMUS PRIME!" I didnt know they were filming it there and realized it after I saw the big rig.

I gotta check this out. Is it appropriate for a 3 yo boy?

well, people die, but you don't actually see them die. but you know when he picks up a minivan and throws it down the street a quarter mile. People get shot, too, but they have a way of disguising it. The point is, you don't actually SEE anyone die, you just know it's going on.

And I only heard maybe a handful of cuss words.

OK, so I'm a huge movie guy. I love seeing movies. For the most part I go to be entertained.

And holy crap does this movie deliver!

I grew up with the toys and watching the cartoon and the original movie. I was super psyched to see this movie and I loved it!! One of those that I'm probably going to see again in the theaters. Lots of crazy action sequences, super FX, and even a few funny spots.

As for the appropriateness for small kids...its VERY loud. Lots of guns and bombs and explosions. You do see a few people kick the bucket (remember the little guy on AF1 chefchris) but nothing explicit, no blood and wounds. I would think that reall little kids would be more scared by the noise, and the rest would have a blast. I know if I was 10 I'd be sneaking back into the theater to watch it again.

This is definitely a fun movie to watch.

ya, that's what i was referring to when I say people got shot. You don't see the impact of the bullet, just the guys laying there in a blurry background. There's a big fight at the beginning where almost everyone dies, but like everyone's said, you don't actually see them die. just kind of ... dissapear.
