TRANSFORMERS HYPE MACHINE

"SHITILLATING!" Daily Star

We came, we saw, we loved it. Kind of. Bay didn't disappoint action-wise. The film is a relentless face full of CGI goodness. Some of the scenes were a little OTT, and you couldn't really make out what was going on, but mostly, great, mostly.

The real worry (Witwicky family and bumblebee story) was actually okay. It was the side plot of young Aussie sound specialist? and her fat hacker that let the side down.

Don't get me started on Sector Seven.

The goods?

Megatron muttering "Disgusting." as he flicked a random dude into a car.

Jazz trying to talk smack, but failing..."You want a piece of me!?"..."No...I want two!" *rip*

Ratchet sniffing Sam's pheromone levels and announcing to everyone that he "wanted to mate with the female"

BumbleBee pissing oil on John Turturro (he deserved no less)
Prime "BumbleBee Stop Lubricating on that Human"

Prime's uppercut totally knocks Bonecrushers eye out in slo-mo under the freeway. Nice.

This:

The bads?

Megatron and Starscream. Their banter was reduced to one line. Two of my favourite characters ruined.

"There's only one hacker in the world who can crack this code". A fat black teenager playing Dance mat with his 30 stone brother.

John Turturro.

Well, that's it. Thanks for coming along for the ride, and all your wonderful comments.

I'm off to start another blog. Peace.

Oh, we had wagamamas.

The Hype is over. Sad times, happy times

It's a weird feeling. I enjoyed playing with my transformers more than any other toy. Now my Ebay auction is over, I'm a little empty. I hope you enjoy Thrust Irene. I did.

Other news is we're finally off to see the film tonight. I'm pretty pumped. After all, it's what this site has been all about. A piece of our childhood, handed over to a new generation.

Maybe a young boy, like me in 20 years, will write a blog reminiscing about the new film?

I think we're having burritos.
