Transformers - The Review

[Easy 10]

Easy , have you seen it yet ?

Yup, took the boy (11) to see it on Saturday
(oh who am I kidding ? I would've gone on me own).

MARVELLOUS entertainment from start to finish. Yes its daft, yes its brash and incredibly noisy, but its also great fun. They struck the right tone with this, didn't try to take anything too seriously, and the result is a thrill-ride of fantastic set-pieces and mind-boggling effects. Easy 8 solemnly declared it "the greatest action film I have ever seen in my life" (and hey - he's seen Smokey and the Bandit II).

I'll give it a solid 8.8.

Synch?

[Publius Ovidius]

Yeah it is... but it can be both I think.

My girlfriend, who watches loads of films, thinks that What About Bob? is the best film she's ever seen.

I have not borthered to read the above comments as I know it will just be a childish thread slagging it off for the sake of it but my colleague here said to me this morning it was the greatest film he has seen in his life and he watches a lot of films and all 6 of them said it was superb as did the whole cinema. He is a 28 year old man so it appears the NSC club is out of sinque again with popular opinion.

I gave an honest account of what I thought of the film, but unforunately it did not agree with yours or Barry Norman's from your workplace. Therefore I must be wrong. I stand corrected.

I am just reporting something a colleague said to counteract all the usual NSC bullshit, I don't really giving a flying toss if you like it or not but is it too much to try and have a sensible discussion on a topic without the cretins and morons being let out

If you do not give a toss, why did you start a thread about it?

Any horses change into something?

No real surprise, it has been known for years that fizzy drinks are bad for your health.

On reflection, I think 'sinque' is better pronounced as if a French person were saying it (i.e. to sound like 'sank').

 

[Pettitt303]

I don't really giving a flying toss if you like it or not

Why did you set up a poll then?

[Uncle Spielberg]

taking away the 1's which are just tossers being confrontational who probably haven't even seen it it averages 6.84.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Would you take a four year old who likes the Transformers Wii game?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am against very young kids in the cinema generally but I will make an exception for him

So NSC *is* in sink/sinque/synch ('N Sync?) with popular opinion, then (well, reviewers at least).

7.9 average on imdb
