Stupid Jenn Trivia: Her old CB handle was "Blaster."

So I went to the drafthouse to see the Transformers movie. I feel kinda like I wasted the day, though. Notbecause of the movie, but because of the long drive to the Drafthouse, the long drive back, and the Nothing Else to Do before and after the movie.

I've heard so many reviews ranging from "Best Action Movie Ever" to "They Raped my Childhood!" Back in 1996, I had a very rude awakening with Independence Day. From that point before, I'd gone to movies and really enjoyed plots and stories and writing. Independence Day...was tripe. Pure and simple tripe. Aliens that were Mac Compatible. Stupid slogans replacing dialogue. Add to this the recent dissapointment I had when I realized the structure of how scripts get dumbed down repeatedly in movies and TVs and the Summer Blockbuster was ruined for me.

When I saw a Transformers movie was on the horizon, and it was Michael EXPLODE EVERYTHING Bay, I kinda started worrying. When it was being touted as an Action Summer Blockbuster, I got REALLY worried. Even the hiring of Peter Cullen didnt' really raise my expectations.

Now, I wasn't going around like the Comic Book Guys yelling "They raped my childhood!" or "WORST. MOVIE. EVER." without actually seeing it. Can't judge a movie till you see it, or read reviews from people you trust.

So I went to see The Transformers. I knew I wouldn't get something like 2001, or even Star Trek V. I just turned off my brain and watched:

I didn't lose any brain synapses watching it.
I didn't learn anything by it either.
It was full of cliches.
Groaner jokes.
Flimsy plot.
Plotholes everywhere.

And I absolutely adored it. :D

Cause I went to see Big Robots Trash Everything. And they did. It totally delivered on the Big Robots Trashing Everything. They trashed EVERYTHING. :D

( The Good, The Bad and the Ugly )

So there we have it - I turned my brain off and just watched to see Giant Robots Destroy Everything - and boy they did that in droves. Don't go expecting Hamlet or the 80s cartoon and it'll be fun. :)
