Nerdy vs. Girly: Transformers
How you know a movie is good: when I’m willing to pay to see it 2 days and a row AND plan to take the boy to see it again when he comes home. Yes, Transformers is that good. And what I love about it is that even if you didn’t grow up on it, its still a movie that can be enjoyed by all.
The girl in me was happy to be able to drool on the screen for most of the movie. Between Tyrese and Josh Duhamel….wow, is all I can say. Such beautiful specimens…lol
Ok outside of that, the nerd in me was geeked! From the moment you see the first car transform, you can’t help but be caught up and fascinated in the fluidity of their movements. It just looks like it’s natural, like you would see it on the street in front of you and it would just be normal. From that point on, its just non stop excitement. I truly was on the edge of my seat the entire time. And its not just the fascination in the machinery, but the humor is actually funny, not corny. The acting isn’t cheesy, and you can’t help but cheer for the ‘faces’ you recognize. When Optimus Prime hit the screen, the entire audience cheered. It was just a really cool experience.
I sat watching the movie and the whole time I was thinking to myself, I can’t wait for my baby boy to see this; he’s gonna love it. I called my mom before I was out of the theatre all the way and told her someone has to take him to see it! And I told him as soon as he gets to Houston, we’ll go see it again. I’m going to see it with my coworkers tonight again (they twisted my arm, I couldn’t say no…LOL) I need everyone else to go see it too!
