Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

So Justin went to hike Humphrey's Peak this weekend, and the girls are spending the night with a friend who has cable so they can watch "The Princess Protection Program" on Disney Channel. Since it was just Connor and me tonight, I figured I'd give in to the begging and take him to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. And let me just say, I am REALLY glad I didn't take the girls to this one!

First of all, yes, I probably should have screened this first, but I figured that Connor was a pretty responsible kid and not a natural rule-breaker, so I figured he was old enough to handle this one. Although after seeing, I wasn't sure I should have let him, we had a long discussion on some of the more "adult" parts of the movie. If you are thinking about taking young kids to see this one, I say DEFINITELY preview it first. It's rated PG-13 for good reason.

All in all, we had a good time together. Connor really liked the movie, and I tolerated the noise and mindless violence in order to get to some of the really good scenes. If you are a Transformers fan, Optimus Prime kicks butt in this one! And my other favorite Autobot, Bumblebee, had some pretty intense scenes, too. The story was a little crazy and disjointed, but the special effects were amazing.

So out of 5 stars, I give it about 3 1/2 stars and Connor gives it 5 stars. Take that for what it's worth...
