Transformers Movie

Ok it's clearly a defect in me that I'm kinda interested in seeing this isn't it?

I was at the older range of the target audience when the original cartoons came out and I was a fan. But when I first heard of this movie I just scoffed - Yeah I'm gonna pay $10 to see a 90 minute commercial for a line of toys! I thought.

But even as I read about the movie and it's inclusion of product placements for other Hasbro products I'm still drawn.

I always found the premise interesting - not so much the technological detail of robots to transform from everyday human machines into sophisticated robots, but the struggle between artificial life-forms and the nature of their origins - and the director, Michael Bay, keeps talking about 'realism' and some of the brief previews all continue to draw me in.

But then again if Michael Bay is responsible for the 'realism' of Armageddon I probably should save my $10 :)

But it does say that if the right guy got hold of the story maybe it could make a good movie regardless of the corporate tie-in in of the plot origins.

you could tell that the audiance was getting into it a little. Everyone seemed to be pretty intrigued...until the "directed by Michael Bay" credit came up, and there was an audable groan...


:rofl:

I'm not a M. Bay fan...but the trailer looked decent...but again, most trailers look decent! But with Optiumus Prime/Megatron....I have to chance it!
