Last night I saw ‘Transformers’

Before the movie we went out to dinner and Tom managed to knock over Lezalee’s glass of red wine. Which ended up all over the white shorts I was wearing!

Somehow in the lead up to going to chatswood I managed to loose my ticket to the movie too.

The cinema man was very nice and let me go see the movie anyway, Nathan who bought the tickets showed the man his recipt proving that i was not trying to sneak in.

I came into this movie have fairly low expectations, firstly I was never a transformers fan when i was a kid, I found it all a bit too scary and felt much safer watching the epic tales of the Care Bears. Also I didnt think transformers was going to be very good becasue old school cartoons dont always have the same impact when hollywood gets hold of them.

But this film was fantastic, it was funny, there was some kick arse fighting, and the effects where pretty cool. I was really supriesed at how funny it was, there was little gags all over the shop. The only thing I didnt really like about the film was that the Sector 7 man was a doosh bag, his charactor was crap, and also some of the robot fight scenses it was a bit hard to see what was going on. More of a technical thing, there wasnt a lot of wide shots showing the fighting lots of close up robotic bits attacking each other whcih i dont know it somehow made the fight scenes a bit less dramatic for me.
