After having watched Transformers last Saturday, Angela has concluded that she likes robots better than pirates (this being the third movie she has watched in a cinema with Superman Returns as the first and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 as the second). I am hoping that she'd ask her dad to buy her an Optimus Prime so that I could have a go at it too.

This was the first film that we have watched here where the cinema was actually full. Wow. Maybe it was the fact that it was only the third day of showing or maybe just because the movie was awesome. Although there were quite a lot of people who went to see the film, it was still a far cry from the cinema queues that regularly happen back in Manila. It was a great relief that I didn't have to kick people down the steps just so we could get the good seats. Not that I did that when I was in Manila. Not all the time, anyway.

Although the Camaro was incredibly sweeet, I'm still a bit disappointed that they didn't use a VW Beetle. Oh well. And I really liked the guy who was playing the part of the head of the secret group mainly because I still think of him as the sneaky butler in Mr. Deeds ("I am very, very sneaky, sir"). Hated the fat black hacker-dude. I've always hated him. He was in that movie where a kangaroo runs off with his red jacket. Still hate him. The leading lady was HOT! I am extremely pleased that she didn't have to saved from the evil monsters, not once! You go, girl! And there's this bit where the Autobots were trying to hide...well it was very funny. Some people might have not seen yet.

Go see it, for crying out loud!

It is very funny despite the sappy bits here and there, and my gaaash, haang galeng ng action sequences! I get kilig fits whenever Optimus Prime transforms. "Hang gwapo ni Optimus Prime!!" I could just imagine the girls back in Manila actually whispering that to their movie-seatmates during Optimus' hero-shot. The funniest part about the whole thing is whenever a really funny scene comes along and everyone in the cinema laughs, Angela would shush them in her loudest shush and people would actually shut up thinking that some serious movie critic is concentrating on the film. They'd be surprised.
