[bteague2]

Its like totally like one of those novelty pencils you get at like the ball park that's the size of a bat

Well I guess the radiation is the explanation for that orange glow she has

Anybody else going to see it tonight?

I am, my buddy already bought our tickets.

The things I would do to her are illegal in 50 states and 139 countries.

Don'tcha know, anything good is either illegal, immoral, or fattening.

When critics hate a movie, that's when I like it. This ain't On Golden Pond!

Both bad reviews are hopped up by CNN who is anti-war. Transformers is about war and proudly features the military. The Transformers movies, by the way, are the largest joint productions with the U.S military EVER.

I want to see Transformers to see Megan Fox jiggle, Shia Lebouf be goofy, and Optimus Prime and Bumblebee beat Decepticon ass. Plain and simple.

I'll wait for Shutter island and The Road to see epic filmmaking. It's a summer movie, enjoy the smell of sex and gunpowder!

I agree, most of those critics are definitely on the O^2 (Obama & Oprah) train.

Oh and here we go...good Lord. We have a BLACK PRESIDENT can't we let this crap go now?

I thought the first movie was 'ok'. It focused way to much on the humans and not enough on the actual Transformers where most had little to no character development. Also most looked identical and other than a few main characters that really had their own look, I could never tell who was good or bad in the fight sceens.

Much of those same criticisms are about the new movie as well from what I have read. As one reviewer pointed out that without good Character development, you feel nothing for them when they win or die. I dig action and all but you CAN have action and a solid story. I would point to other movies this year to prove that true from Terminator to Star Trek.

I do fully agree that most of the time I do not agree with critics on movies. The ones that get the most praise from them I avoid at all costs. But this sounds like it suffers from the same stuff in the first one but at an even larger scale. Hopefully one day somebody will come along and do the Transformers justice much like how the Hulk movie was done recently after the disaster a few years ago.

ssshhhh,Tango,need wet nap,over.

ssshhhh,can you repeat that,over.

ssshhhh,WET NAP-slow motion jiggle,over.

Other then that,I thought it was pretty good.

The only thing I disliked was it was a bit out there compared to the first movie,and I will agree that the fight scenes were a little complex,and confusing.

But all in all I thought it was effing awesome!

Couldn't be more pleased

I liked the movie but what they did with soundwave was just stupid.

I caught the midnight premiere Tuesday night, and I've gotta admit, I was just a wee bit disappointed. I don't usually side with the critics (I LOVED the first movie even though it got panned), but I agree on the issue of character development. Most of the time, I had no clue who was fighting, and a good chunk of the characters were never even named. The plot was almost non-existent, and the filmmakers seemed to view dialogue and exposition as just a necessary evil used to fill space between fight scenes.

Don't get me wrong--I still had a good time. As a huge Transformers fan from day one, I was just expecting more.

Went and watched it today. Pretty good movie but again some of the fight scenes are a little hard to follow just to fast. I like it when they slowed them down. Good movie overall.

It was probably her man thumbs that ruined it for you.
