Movie buff, but this one just couldn't get my attention.

Rating: 2/10 (11 December 2010)

Seriously, it's nearly impossible for me to start watching a movie and not finish it. I've watched millions of movies that people consider to be terrible...yet I find some redeeming quality in the film and consider it to have been worth watching. Prior to turning on the Transformers movie on cable, I had only walked out of one movie in my life (Flesh and Bone...circa 1995-ish). This movie however...um...I could only watch about 30 minutes and then had to change the channel. I made it through an hour of Flesh and Bone. I loved the Transformers cartoon as a kid, and I was leery about a movie adaptation because...how do you make a high-budget sci-fi movie from an admittedly cheesy concept? The only good thing that came from the resurgence of the Transformers brand in my opinion are these Xip3 Transformer jackets from a company called Core Gear. While transforming robots from outer-space are pretty far-fetched, a hiking jacket that turns into a back-pack that turns into a pillow...well that's at least functional and kinda cool (see the jackets http://budurl.com/transf ), and if you're a raving Transformers fan, there are limited edition Transformers-logo jackets available for sale.
