Transformers

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.

Thats what a lot of movies do in order to ensure that all-important PG rating. Even a PG-13 can be the kiss of death, much less the R rating, thus, lots of bloodless killing.

Thanks guys, it sounds like I'll have to check it out before taking my son. He's asking to go see it and has been watching the cartoons lately. He may have to wait until I buy it on DVD.
