Heading out with the kids to see Transformers

Hopefully there will not be too many people at the movie theater.

My brother Hollyw00d went to the transformers release party/conv in RI (Hasbro is located in my old home state) and said they where having a small sneak peak and it looked amazing.

More info in a couple hours

I might go this weekend.

I was thinking of taking the kids tomorrow. You'll have to let us parents know if it is too violent.

holy shit, i was just looking at some trivia for the movie:

"It took approximately 38 hours to render one frame of the CGI animation to portray the Transformers."

I saw it last night...it was alright. It was pretty much just eye candy.

Only complaint I really have is with all the CGI, the fight scenes had so much going on it was almost a blur and you couldn't even tell what the hell was going on.

oOo:

Obviously he should have looked at least similar to the megatron\galvatron character. I dunno where the fuck they came up with that design, looks like some kinda purverted sex toy.

That was the toy, the cartoon character looked nothing like that.

OK, this has to be the best movie I've seen in a while. While I was not a big transformers fan growing up (I'd rather watch starblazers because they had a kick ass battleship as their main spacecraft - man I'm dating myself) I did my fair share of watching the series in the early days.

The movie did a great job of intertwining CGI and live action, lots and I mean lots of action with some funny one liners thrown in. My dream 2004+ mustang has now been pushed aside by the new 2008(?) Camaro, in my fav. color canary yellow

As for being too violent there maybe one hint of someone getting stepped on but no blood and guts at all (one guy does get spiked from behind). Lots of bots on bots fighting and plenty of large explosions.

If your a fan of the old cartoons, there is plenty of old hidden gems thrown in here and there. Keeping the same voice actors was well worth it.

Funny, the past 13/14 years I cant stand to watch a movie or TV show twice within the same year or two, but I want to go back and see this movie again.

As for our local theater, they had the movie playing every 1/2 hour and our showing was about 65% full.

Please if anyone sees the movie leave your review, but try and not give anything away... please no spoilers..

Did you stay for after the credits?

How long?

We hung around for the mom and dad tv interviews and the well lets just say, "you can bet there will be a transformers II scene"

Which there will be in 2009
