For Movie Blog regulars, you know that I’ve been pissing myself about Transformers ever since it was announced. You’ll also know that the most outspoken nay-sayer (I don’t mean that in a derogatory manner) around here about the film has been regular commenter “Alfie”. Well, this just shocked me so much I had to post it here.
Apparently Alfie also saw the film this weekend, and in the comments thread on Sharon’s Transformers review, he left his impressions. Here are some excerpts:
if i can just weigh in here with my thoughts……..
Jaysmack…you would normally have a staunch ally in me…i would be right there
with you facing the movie blog masses as they attack us with their delusions of
transformers actually being any good….but i saw this film over the weekend. It is as sharon says “fucking awesome.”
it is a true case of everything needed to be a great summer blockbuster coming
together perfectly….you have the complete enthusiasm of labouf shining of the
screen…his energy practically burns the screen up..turturro is funny in a weird
part for him. his agent character is a great.
I have always like kevin dunn so it is always good to see him on the bigscreen.
What the hell??? This is probably the biggest endorsement of Transformers to date. You know what’s going to happen now right?? I’ll end up being disappointed with Transformers, and Alfie and I will be debating from the opposite sides that we were on before the film came out..
