Transformers, we are hooked again

Yes, we went to watch Transformers 3 at 1st Avenue's TGV. Citibank promotion for TGV buy 1 free 1 tickets during weekends with their credit card only valid through 26 June 2011. But for those who are going on weekdays there is a RM10 per ticket promotion with Citibank. We went on Thursday as it's Penang's public holiday and the children didn't go to school. So we didn't get the promotion price :P But children are charged RM7 per child instead of RM12 like us.

Waiting for show to start.. took some photos of this mock setup of Optimus. He does look like coming out in the photo huh? :) We didn't watch the 3D version as the children don't really know how to appreciate it. If watching on our own, we'd definitely go for 3D. In order to bring them to the cinema, we had been preaching to them about sitting through the show and not to make noise. For reward, we will buy them a box of popcorn each :) We had 1 of each type, 1 salty and 1 sweet type. Actually the sweet type taste better for the children.



1st Avenue TGV is quite comfy and very new still. The seats are tiered seating, meaning the seats are arranged in sloping tiers so that the ppl at the back can see over the heads of those in front. Especially good for short ppl like me and for children. It's so irritating to be seated behind some big guy and we keep seeing his head instead of the screen.

It was super cold inside, and both 姐姐 and 弟弟 keep complaining about being cold even though they have a jacket on, especially complain more towards the 2nd half of the movie where there is no robot scenes. Seems like that is the time when the popcorn run out too.

姐姐's comment about T3: super boring..... watch for 2 hours, legs also cannot walk after movie finish
弟弟's comment: human parts super boring... only robot and fighting parts good.

My verdict: It's true... the parts with humans are mostly boring, even gross sometimes. The story is overall a bit out... I only like the robot and action scenes. Some of the action are in slow motion, so we can see it better unlike the previous 2 movies which everything happen so fast. I don't get the movie critics comments either, worrying about the actors' acting skills. Sam Witwicky is his usual self, pretty good. Model gf is terrible in acting, and her lips look like 猪唇. I didn't type wrong, really looks like pig, but her hair and body is hot la.... She is not suitable for action movies, keep screaming and is very irritating. Megan Fox was much better looking and looks much better in the action scenes. And the ppl doing T3 really 敢死, kill off our fave Autobot Ironhide, also kill off the Decepticons' mighty Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave. I didn't read the comics or any of the books, so I didn't know if they really died in the end. But even movies like Pirates of the Carribean went to movie #4, Fast and Furious to movie #5, Harry Porter to movie #7, not to mention James Bond, Batman etc. How could Transformer stop at #3 and how to continue when the baddies all dead? Aih... doesn't look like they can be revived since already berkecai.

After the movie, we were so inspired that went to KFC to buy the Bumble Bee toy which comes with Chicky meal. It's still available there as of Thursday. Wah... this toy actually can make Bumble Bee recorded sound. So cool ya... for the same price of a Chicky meal. Wanted to get a Optimus Prime too but he is sold out at KFC Batu Lanchang.

弟弟 with Bumble Bee




On Saturday while going shopping at Gurney Plaza, we tried to look for KFC there, but 爸爸 couldn't find any KFC there. Guan lai really no KFC there. We went around to Bayan Lepas, and stopped at Sunshine and Giant, but Optimus prime is already sold out. Finally last stop, Tesco, and got him there. 爸爸 even have to ask the counter staff twice, luckily the manager on duty heard him and bring out another bagful of toys and dig out from there :) So that's why the group photo here. 弟弟 had been asking us to get Starscream for him since he heard me saying only left Bumble Bee and Starscream. But we refuse since knowing them usually the bad guy will be left in the cold and not played with at all ... we'll see if he request again LOL


Saw this activity book at KFC Giant, took 2 back for the children. There is a page with stickers which they enjoy.
