Optimus Prime is a wuss

As part of FOMOboy's birthday treat we decided to send him and two of his friends to the cinema in Swansea, well I say send, I drew the short straw and had to supervise along with Xbox boy.... a sort of lads night out with a cybernetic twist.....

I have to say I didn't particularly enjoy the film because it lacked quite a few ingredients..... like a plot for instance.... ok there was a plot but it was thinly disguised under a smorgasbord of CGI special effects, which I suppose you would have to have considering Autobots are not amongst us and that mild mannered JCB that you see parked up on the side of the road on the way to Tesco's does not turn into a laser cannon toting metallic die harder John Mclane....(minus the white vest of course) .... the CGI stuff was pretty good for the most part but there was a lot of close up fight scenes with these monstrous robotic meccano kits, and to be honest you couldn't actually tell what was going on for 70% of the time.... needless to say the Autobots under the resurrected Optimus Prime won the day over .... (shock horror) and the Decepticons were hammered (shock horror) evil loses out to the big bucket of nicely coloured bolts.......

That said FOMO boy loved it and thought it was AWESOME, myself and xbox boy then had to suffer three 10 year old boys yabbering in the back of the car all running on sugar overload from 3 enormous popcorn servings and 3 drinks the size of a small waste bin each......... all the way back from Swansea to Carmarthen.......all whilst he got it in the ear from his girlfriend via text for some minor infraction such as having the nerve to be caught in some "other" girls photograph and the said girl posting her pictures complete with xbox boy on Bebo..... I mean how degrading and disrespectful for the poor girl..... (rolls eyes)
