Normally for crappy summer films, I'd just wait for it to air on cable or maybe see the DVD, but this is that kind of film that should be seen in theatres with a receptive audience. But that's also $9 out of my pocket for something that could really suck. Oh well, I'll read some more reviews and decide by Saturday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-90586422655042044322007-07-05T03:03:00.000-04:002007-07-05T03:03:00.000-04:00On Shia - He's a major cutie and I'm glad he's the...On Shia - He's a major cutie and I'm glad he's the latest hot thing because I've liked him since <I>Holes</I> (I occasionally think to myself "I should've nominated him for my awards in 2003")<BR/><BR/>On <I>Transformers</I> - Well, I wrote about it on my blog. It's proposterous, yes, but everyone involves knows it. And yes it's flawed, there are plot holes the size of a mack truck, but I'll be damned if it wasn't the most <I>fun</I> I've had at one of these big Hollywood movies in a long time. Yes, it's not <I>about</I> anything, but I'd rather it not be about anything and be content with it being a wild entertaining two hours, than have it attempt to be about something about turn into a grossly depressing character study. I just went in, enjoyed the stunts, the action, the transforming, the humour, the fact that cars are turning into robots and I had a blast.<BR/><BR/>It really did remind me of how I felt when I was younger and I saw <I>Independence Day</I> (funnily enough) at the cinema. Granted, I sort of hate that movie now, but that doesn't matter. I felt giddy and pumped up and all that jazz.<BR/><BR/>It's not trying to revolutionise anything, it's just a good time. And I know it's not cool anymore to be all excited about special effects, but those effects were astounding.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's enough. I'm just glad there's a movie that I liked instead of outright hate (<I>Spider-Man 3</I>) or am completely passive about (<I>Pirates 3</I>).<BR/><BR/>(sorry for being so long)Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-22717060872813974812007-07-05T02:35:00.000-04:002007-07-05T02:35:00.000-04:00Hm.
