I just got back from seeing my first movie in over 4 years. Ed, his cousin Cliff and I saw the Transformers movie in a truly disgusting theatre in Edmonton.

I .. liked it.

I went into the movie knowing that this was not 1986, I am not 12 years old, and the movie I was about to see was not a cartoon and not the original – and with all that in mind, I liked it. Sure, it was cheesy and over the top, but it sort of fit. Several things made me laugh out loud – I enjoyed the Rise Against poster appearing twice – and I left the theatre satisfied. Thirsty, but satisfied.

Well played, Michael Bay. It’s not the same, but you didn’t fill me with incoherent rage and I suppose that’s gotta be worth something.

Now, don’t fuck up the sequels.
