By "sesame", I assume you mean Sesame Street
An invalid comparison since even though that show contains some jokes to entertain parents its aimed squarely at only small children
While the new TF movies try to entertain a larger audience
But fails when it attempts to portray adult humor or non-robot interactions
But of course those who don't expect much from their sci-fi movies
and gravitate towards broad comedy and simplistic dialog in any film genre
probably won't mind
Yes sesame street, and no it a wonderfully valid comparison...
you seem to miss the parameters
simple PG rated G1 cartoon ---- G Rated Sesame Street show
Pg13 TF movie ------ Pg 13 S Street movie
the g rated SS show has kid themes and kids doing kid things all day
in the Pg13 movie they would be doing the same **** thematically but with raunchy college humor jokes(for arguments sake)
just because it's PG13 that doesn't warrant the issues all of a sudden being about world politics and virture ethics
it's still for the kids, there are just raunchy jokes added
TF doesn't need to become a study of the complexities man and machine and their place in the universe, just because it's PG 13...it's still about the same tangible childish toy selling themes it always was
pg 13 means quite literally that the jokes can be at college level
not sure which theater you were in but TF garners big laughs in the comedy department
(the human jokes anyway)
read all the reviews you want but I challenge anyone to find a theater that dead pans when a comedic beat drops
and maybe i'm just drawing a blank here but how many live action sci fi films can you recall that don't have any non robot interactions?
(how many sci-fi films don't have a huge human element?)
honest question
