Took my kids and our friends kids to go see Transformers today. I wouldn't necessarily say it was "More than meets the Eye", so to speak, but it was a pretty good swing at the franchise.
As an action flick, it wasn't too bad. Some holes here and there and some things that just didn't make a lot of sense. Oh, and I should have guessed by the PG-13 rating that it got here in the US, but there were a couple of awkward scenes that my 3 to 13 year old crew probably didn't need to see...
... like the "masturbation scene" at the kids house. Not something I want to explain to my 7 year old son just yet
... but still, I had a few really cool moments being an old transfan from my childhood. Personally I loved this line:
Megatron: "Starscream, you have failed me again". I wanted to shout out.. "YEAH, AGAIN, FOR THE LAST TIME... AGAIN!!!
Also, I had a real feeling that Starscream would find a way to get away in the movie... just like in the series. And he did!
So, thus far it looks like 11 for 11 among us C3F'ers. I wouldn't mind a sequel. Hopefully the writing gets tightened up just a bit because there were some plot holes nearly large enough for Optimus to drive through.
