    Inability to suspend one's own disbelief isn't the defining quality, or even a pre-requisite, for being grown up.

    I was talking in terms of demographics more than artistic licence....

    If we weren't willing to suspend disbelief we'd never be entertained.

    Just go with the flow and enjoy it.

    Maybe they do...

    Or maybe they stick people through rigourous training including tests of their loyalty and **** like that to make sure any "kid out of school" aint just gonna ruck up to a government building and spread state secrets to their mates....

    Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't....still a piss poor excuse for some over the top effects.

    btw I really hated this movie!

    movies are just a bunch of fluff nowdays. It's just following the trend which is wha hollywood is all about. And because it did so well be on the lookout for more.

    A zombie movie is successful every studio wants to put one out, etc....

    Transformers has been going for twenty years gathering audiences. From the original through Beast Wars, Armada and now Animated.
    The movie makers made all the right moves by making to appeal to everyone.

    I liked it quite a bit. It was an unimportant bit of fluff. But it was a nostalgic and pretty bit of fluff. So there. . . .
