And to satisfy audiences' desire for technological terror, Universal's "Transformers" (July 4), directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, hits theaters on what will be a key five-day Independence Day weekend for many Americans.
One of this summer's few non-sequels, "Transformers" draws its inspiration from the beloved children's toys of the 1980s and the Saturday morning cartoon show based upon them — which also spawned a kid-friendly cartoon movie version in 1986.
"Bay and Spielberg, that's a blockbuster team that knows how to wow an audience. Who knows, this film might be the one to overwhelm all of the part threes," said Christopher Sharrett, a professor of communications and film studies at Seton Hall University in New Jersey.
"It's original and plays into the pop culture of several generations — with the toys and an interesting live-action portrayal of the '80s animated show. This might be the movie that has the cachet of the summer."
In case you were born after 1990, Transformers are alien robots that battle each other and turn into cars, trucks, guns and, er, other stuff.

It's not kid friendly if you slaughter 3/4 of the characters, then kill Optimus Prime, then replace everything you just murdered with sub-standard replicas.
It's probably why TF:TM failed.

I think the definition of "kid-friendly" has changed somewhat in the last twenty years or so...
But back on point, it should be interesting to see who wins the box office race between Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3.
