More Than Meets the Eye

Just left the movie Transformers...A little back story on this I was a transformer kid I had the action figures watched the show and even watched the movie (cartoon version (thanks Ben)) when I was a little too old to be watching cartoon movies, but I enjoyed it none the less...For whatever reason I was not excited about this movie as I was sure it was going to disappoint me because a child's imagination has yet to be captured on the big screen. I am happy to say that this movie did not disappoint. Looking at the big picture of things this movie was made very well it was and should have been directed at an older generation (the one that grew up playing with Optimus Prime) and not at the today's kids who to be honest have a million other things to play with...At the same it might breathe new life into the Transformer Enterprise...

On to the movie the special effects were excellent and for me it tugged at all the right strings, I found myself getting pumped during the right parts and I was completely drawn into this movie....I am a pretty skeptical person and for a movie to that it has to be good (see back to the future)...The story line was exciting and it was wrapped up but left you with a little teaser and open door at the possibility of a second flick...
Now if you are like me you are sitting there saying I have seen all the comic book movies as of late (spider man, x-man, what have you) and they are entertaining but not great I was not willing to pay $9 to see a movie that I could just as well rent...I agree and had it not been for a few friends telling me how good this movie is and offering to attend the showing with me I would have done the same...

This movie is full of action and is very entertaining...Now its not a thinker or a tough plot line to follow so go into to it with the that mind set...Nothing makes me more mad than when someone sees a movie (ie Dumb and Dumber) and says man that movie was so stupid, what did you expect its called Dumb and Dumber...Same applies here its called transformers for a reason...

This movie had me wishing my '96 Honda with 160,000 miles was secretly a transformer and I was going to be shocked when I came out of the theater that I was now the proud owner of a '96 huge freaking alien robot...I was sadly disappointed as I am still the owner of a '96 Honda with rust colored racing strips due to the barbwire fence "incident"....

This movie is worth the 2.5 hrs and the $9...Its more than meets the eye...
