Transformers at the IMAX theater

.
Saw 'Transformers' last week. It was too much of everything...serious overkill. On an IMAX screen, the robots were way too big on the close-up shots and it was nonstop explosions. I might have been a better experience on a regular sized movie screen. A close-up of an already giant robot on a screen six stories high didn't go over so well.

I guess I've gotten too old.

Hitman hifi-

Did you happen to see the movie yet or are you going by what others say that have reviewed the movie ?

I happened to see the movie this weekend and while you cant compare it to the first one, it was still good in my opinion.

I just read Roger Eberts review of the movie and maybe this isnt his kind of movie and that is why he gives it a bad review ? If you watch the movie and then read his review, you might find that he either doesnt understand the movie or he didnt pay attention to much to it. As there are things in the movie that are pretty obvious and he didnt get it, and I could easily point out 3 things right now, but I dont want to ruin it for others that havent see it yet.

Review can be read here :

Hitman -

I honestly think that if you were to go watch this movie and THEN read his review, you would see that he didnt pay attention to the movie at all.

Lethal Weapon, Terminator, all had sequels to them and while each one was different, they all had a new story behind them.....I think the same thing applies to this movie.

Also , check your email.....as I am sending you something to read.
