Transformers: Robots in Disguise


I am not a SciFi buff. I am not an 8 year old boy. I am not a badass. BUT I do love me some Transformers. I finally saw the much hyped summer movie last night, and I have to say, it was pretty good. Was I entertained? Yes. Did I laugh? Yes. Did the movie have kick ass graphics and a lot of scenes with sweet military aircraft/vehicles...hell yes. However, there were a few slight things that really bugged me about this movie.

Josh Duhamel, you are so hot, but I was distracted in your scenes. Why was your uniform all jacked up? Army personnel DO NOT roll their sleeves...EVER. LEave that for the other services. Sorry. They also do not wear British flags in place of American flags when they work for...America.

Tyrese. O my sweet, sweet Tyrese. Why are you a 35 year old AF Chief? Yes, maybe you are a badass, but it is just highly unlikely for an E-9 to be 35 years old. Although to your credit I guess it is possible. I guess you must have changed places with the 50 year old Army Capt I also saw in the movie...

My roommate commented that the film should have been shorter, but she is the ULTIMATE Debbie Downer movie critic (Sorry Lizbeth!). I thought the length was okay. I really enjoyed how all of the "good guy" Autobots were Chevrolet/GMC vehicles... My dad would have loved that. Who knew Autobots were American made? Did I also mention how awesome all of the military scenes were in it? Yes, that was probably the best part of all...

still haven't seen it... I'll have to go soon.

Yeah, the Autobots are GMC, but in the first one Barricade (a decepticon) was a 2007 Saleen Mustang... going to have to go with the Decepticons being a little more bad-ass.

I can't wait to see Transformers 2. Now, if only I could remember where I put that All-spark?

Umm yes. Barricade was a Mustang. But now he's dead. So there. Chevy wins again!
