***Hmm..ok. No trailer..that will be..different.

I actually miss the trailer but I didn't see a purpose for it in this movie, though I'm sure someone could have found a good way to make good use of it.

Still a semi-truck but a different model. And he didn't have a trailer behind him.

Yes, shame on you, but then again you have seen more movies than Sue and I combined this year. ;P

This is true. :) Just saw another today in fact.

I was glad the original voice of Optimus Prime was present in this movie. It made the whole experience more authentic. You'll like it. And overall, he did look like his cartoon counterpart, though his vehicle mode was different.

Wife,

***"I just wished that the phrase "Bah Weep Grahna Weep Nini Bahn” made it in somewhere."

I don't even want to know what that means.


I was going to tell you but if you really don't want to know... (my wife is scared that I'm speaking in tongues).

Sue,

***The Autobots may have given you a tie, but will the boy wizard be your undoing?

Only time (schedule, cash and willingness of child to attend) will tell!


The boy wizard can't save you if I see it as well. ;)


***Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaa*cough*splutter*cough*

It's tough being a cyber villain.


You better work on that. Stick to being a Bead Demoness. It suits you better.

Carrie,

***or your review on this to see if we were going to go or not. Excellent review for sure - so sad I do not have a MH button to give it to you for this one, you definitely deserve it.

So sad you don't have a MH button. I would have gladly accepted it from you. Hope you enjoy the movie. :)

CDM,

***The best movie I've seen all year. And Shia LeBouf was friggin' brilliant. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. I'm going to see this one again.

I'm really curious to see what the deleted and extra scenes are like for this movie. I'm anticipating the DVD more than anything else.

Marie,

***I haven't been able to see this one yet..I know..shame on me.

Yes, shame on you, but then again you have seen more movies than Sue and I combined this year. ;P


***Hopefully I'll get to it soon. It does sound really entertaining. It is nice that Optimus Prime had the same man doing the voice at least. And from what I've seen from the previews, he looked right - based on what I remember from the cartoons.

Michelle,

I don't know how if I should be thrilled or scared that you value my opinion on this movie, but I'm glad you feel better about yourself. And yes, it was quite enjoyable.
