While I’m working up my Part 3 post for Good Pastor… Bad Leader (see part 1 & part 2 HERE and HERE) I figured I’d drop in a movie review for you to chew on. It’s not my own, It was published by my pseudo-friend/acquaintance Scott Firestone IV (not that he’s a bad friend or pretends to be, I just don’t know that I know him well enough to express a committed friendship as we’ve only spoken off and on briefly and met face to face one time) over at youthministry.com but I figured it was worth posting. I loved the first Transformers movie two summers ago. I was surprised by it and enjoyed the plot, the “regular guy” hero portrayal, and the action and computer graphics.
Which brings us to the newest installment. Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I enjoyed sitting through it, but didn’t enjoy the movie. Is that possible? I enjoyed the first one enough to buy tickets online early and go at 12am on Tuesday night to see the second. It was crude, vulgar, and mindless. That’s why I think you’ll appreciate Scott’s review below, which expresses my sentiments perfectly. Of course, Scott’s a far better writer than I am, and his knowledge of movies and literature is more tasteful and surpasses my own, LOL, which is why I’ve chosen his review to post instead of writing one of my own. :)
