And while we are here, here is a trailer from the original film from which the new one drew inspiration. Watch for the magic cloak effect that my John loved.
So what do you think?
Good special effects, but I almost expected to see something like Megatron pop up somewhere. Pretty lame. I believe that Hollywood is truly operated by a conglomeration of idiots, and this movie proves me right.
