This is pretty much what I think all summer-movie going folks will see of this film. They are going to love it and all the haters and boycotters can enjoy their G1 toys at home while us regular folks get more than our money's worth at the theater.

Its going to make serious bank and spawn sequels for year to come.

Here's the deal.

My best friend is a spider-man nut. Serious. Guy is pretty well off and he spends all xtra money on Spidey stuff. He refinanced his house to buy a comic once. 15,000$. He is beyond dedicated and knows everything about Spidey.

He loves his classic Spidey and stands firm on that.

BUT...

He accepts and enjoys the films. He is able to understand that the film version of his fav character is not his fav character.

does that make sense?

Folks that dont get that, strike me as simpletons w/o a chance in this world.

You dont have to give up what you love and enjoy.. but understand that this is just someone else's view.

If you think you can do a better job, then do it and stop **** complaining.

got it?

good.

most people feel that way. it's all you danged movie freaks that blow everything out of perportion. i feel like you'r spidey friend, but everytime i speak my mind i get trashed for the viewpoints. let's just say, alot of us that are a bit older have seen alot of things come and go, and alot of things ruined by too many sequels or the synergy of extreme mass marketing.

I am a lot more worried about the sequels dissapointing than this one.

Oh well..

Matters zero to me. All my friends are stoked as hell. Funny to find the transformer fan in people when they see the commercials for the first time. I showed my friend the first main trailer and his wife was standing close by.. she flipped when they show that bried clip of Prime.. "OH MY GOD.. OPTIMUS PRIME!!" she screamed. Both her husband and I looked at her with "you know who Optimus Prime is????" looks.

Funny stuff.

Cant wait!
