Horseshoe Mesa - 3 miles, 31 switchbacks & 2500 vertical feet down and ALL that way back UP to the rim!
I always wondered why, of all the animals on earth, they would pick a hippo

Transformers movie - is it as bad as they say?
Please don't post any spoilers
 We were planning to go see this tomorrow but now that we've heard the reviews, we are having second thoughts. DS is especially concerned about the special effects - the wow factor, not the artist quality. So if you were a 14 year old boy who liked the first Transformers movie, do you think you'd like the current Transformers?

Yes, he will like it. I (and my DS 17) were a little disappointed in the language and suggestiveness of this one compared to the first one, but the special effects were amazing. We just felt a little funny sitting there with some of the goings-on with a theatre full of 9-12 year olds. Some unnecessary stuff, in our opinion.

Me & Dh liked it, our sons all loved it, although they are younger than your 14-year old. But if he/you liked the first one, then he/you will like this one, imo.

I liked it, but I agree with this. The language and suggestiveness did seem worse in this one. It was a fun movie though.

Df and I really liked it. I agree with the above...the language at times suprised us a bit. It did get a little long at times but we really liked it!

I am a HUGE movie buff and in the past several years no longer really pay attention to the reviews. I love Roger Ebert but lately I don't understand how he can pan a movie of this magnitude.
The CGI and special effects are insane, crazy, powerful, totally awesome!!!!! Ummm as for the language...I didn't really notice that at all. It is PG-13 so they can only say so many curse words so that confused me. Its worth the money and I was also impressed with Shia and even Megan Fox. It is one of THE best action movies I have seen. |

We saw it yesterday. DH liked the first movie better. I thought it was a little long, but amazing special effects kept me entertained. There were some moments when the language caught our attention. But all in all, I'd say we enjoyed the movie. We just didn't think it was as good as the first movie. We're not sorry that we saw it though.

As for the language--it wasn't so much swearing as sexual in nature...

My 15 yo daughter and her friend saw it the other day and really liked it. I had no idea it was so long and showed up to pick them up about 80 minutes after it started. Good thing I brought a book because it was about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
