Yes, I really did go the the pictures last night with the kids to see Transformers. The evil cop car with the logo 'To punish and enslave' amused me. The special effects were brilliant, the plot was OK (it was nice to see the soldiers as good guys for once!) there were a few witty one-liners, but it was about 20 minutes too long. Some of the action sequences needed shortening and generally tightening up and the bit where the boy is searching the house went on for too long. You know how it is though- they spend all this money on CG and can't bear to axe it!

It was good to see strong capable female roles (no wimpy screaming in this) and the teenage nerd winning through.

If you have teenage boys or are a lover of action movies that require no brain power whatsoever, you'll love this.

It was not to my taste .. however I got my enjoyment from watching an entire cinema of late 20 something men bouncing in seats and grinning like 8 year olds heehee (Yes Himself included if not leading the seat bouncing lol) It has a few moments that make you smile and special effects are good but sadly that is where it ended for me.

In my defence there was never a time of date specified and well i did have a better offer!!! This is the day you shall always remember as the day that you almost caught Waggle.
