I LIKED IT. GO SEE IT.

Okay, so, my review of the movie:
Hmm... how to put this...
"I liked it... but,"
I think that sums up the theme of this review.
So, time to bring back the TCM schedule overview. This weekend’s line-up (starting at Noon-ish Eastern today).
Thursday September 30th:
From this thread https://www.fimfiction.net/group/50/the-writers-group/thread/455081/the-movie-what-went-wrong-and-how-could-it-have-been-done-better - one of mine, for once. You can guess from the tittle it's not my most positive take, but I do try to be fair...
So I just got back from seeing the movie (and then going to Buffalo Wild Wings for wings and booze shortly thereafter). It was pretty fun. Since I went to a 6:50pm showing, I had one or two interactions with some youngin's and the parent(s) didn't find me creepy, so that was a plus, and even though there were a few happy shrieks from the target demographic, it didn't take away from the movie that much.
Go and watch the movie. Do it. No, really, do it. I’ve seen it already (thank Celestia for early releases) and it’s fantastic!
So yeah, go get your popcorn ready and watch that darn movie, it’s worth it!
Had several bits I got annoyed with, but overall was pretty good. Worth the trip and price of a ticket. Well, as much as any movie is worth the price of movie tickets these days.
The important bit: I think this movie is evidence that carrot top is a secret agent. I swear I saw her but with a different cutie mark in the opening bad guy entrance and I don't remember seeing her anywhere in the ranks of the captured ponies.

I don't suspect I'll have anything new or interesting to say about it, but I've been out of the loop for a week or two, and now my feed is full of spoilery movie blogs which I ignored because I hadn't seen the movie. But now I've seen the movie, and now you can all ignore my blog right back because it's old news now.
*ahem*
I finally got to this, so here we go, as always spoiler warning.
So the movie starts in medieval times, with the magic master merlin meeting the Transformers, gets the staff and gets to control dragonstorm, uses it and kills the other army. then at a junk yard some kids came to look at a dead transformers, only to be chased by TRF, witch is a new team that hunts transformers. Cade Yeager, Played by Mark Wahlberg. helps them out with the help of bumblebee, Bumblebee gets shot and
Once again, Turner Classic Movies is being the bastion of cinema history. They're the only channel on cable that shows old movies, foreign films (with subtitles), silent films, and obscure cult/underground cinema.
(To clarify, I'm referring to the Will Smith movie from '96)

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
Honestly? Full brutal honest opinion? I ADORED THE MOVIE It was everything I wanted it to be! And the best part is that you can feel the love and dedication put into it. That's what I love most about this show, I think, how much the staff loves working on it. It was absolutely touching for that reason alone.
