I bought a pair of transformers.

Hmm. I thought it would be.

I heard you should take it at face value.

I don't actually know the context of that, but something about Optimus and face puns has become popular.

Transformers: I knew nothing about it, nor did I see the first movie, but went with some friends late opening night to see the second one. I wasn't impressed. There were some amusing parts, but it was 2 1/2 hours of constant explosions.

When I was walking out to the car at 1:15am there were some kids ranting and raving about how 'sic' a movie it was. Meh, whatever.

Ah, but when you go in with the sensible expectations of explosions, giant fighting robots and intermittent shots of inconsequential meatbags, you have a rip-roaring good time.

Pretty much, BM. I love giant robots and explosions. It was still a 'shit' movie. But a fun one.
