" I'm driver for the Boston Globe here on tape two we're talking about. The news transformers movie transformers revenge of the yes somebody has fallen and can't get up and it's media after seeing this movie actually if you like had been pummeled. Pressed into the back -- my chair. Splattered on the -- it theater and you know doesn't go at that time for the screening I went to there -- whole Lotta people. I'm halls spiritually fourteen year old boys who students cheered and more power to them but. You know analyst is a movie that's going to make tons and tons of money so I feel perfectly. Free to say that it. It is Michael Bay doing what he does which is. Throw as much action -- noise and interference on the screen. Without actually telling days story of what you think robots beat the living to Jesus out of each -- much as the next guy. But -- this movie is the transformers. Optimus Prime and make or Detroit or -- Detroit. But we'll be always that. The way they sort of pop in and out of there. -- Sort of so quickly and so. Literally and so in your face Lee that you really never get that rush from seeing what's going on. The humans here -- Rather more interesting -- it would be. Look Booth still haven't figured out of announces name. Where's the -- he's in this community planks and what Wiki -- college. Where believe me if being Michael Bay movie every woman is tan. At ten plus. Megan Fox is following along. She's not going to college but she's -- motorcycle movies she's you know reason -- People go see this movie as well. Two -- and -- British Wright is still the bottom immediately ranch in straights and he's not dead yet. And he comes back in the evil. Except guys need to get at something that's in Saddam's -- And it leads to doomsday device and basically the plot to make any sense here. Off its all full on action around you know from beginning and what's the problem that. Particular problem with the fact that they can. Actually feel as -- to hear -- from -- and to the other I think. My favorite part of the movie. Just -- we'll get you know continuity freaks nightmares. If they go into the Smithsonian. From Washington. DC there's a big action sequence along gets knocked out everybody runs outside and they're in the desert. There in the desert southwest probably got. From Washington DC did it American southwestern desert is never really explain and obviously Michael -- laughing your pastry and thinking that's the problem. I have a little problem there's a certain amount of contempt for the or an audience that wants to bring even spring of entertainment movies as much as the next guy. But I'd like them to be made an have to be intellectual they have to be me price smart people who are into the -- after putting together good entertainment movie. That's not what Michael -- he hey -- figures he's got an accident not days and noise. Enough speed. That's a movie. And it will it works for some people to me a little bit like that Gibson. -- what I know I'm just cranky old timer. Set transformers revenge of the fallen and that's."
