Love it or hate it. Seems there ain't now in between. For the post nazis:

Love it means you liked it/enjoyed the experience

Hate i means you didn't like it/would recommend it to others

Took my son tonight. Went in a little jaded by the bad word of mouth going around. Came out of the theater thoroughly entertained. My son loved it. I thought it was a lot of fun. Lots of action. Lots of scenes with Megan Fox running around. What more could I ask for? I liked it better than the first.

**DaFace** · 06-30-2009, 09:47 PM

"Loved it" is far too strong, but I enjoyed the experience overall.

I'm glad I got to see it on a big screen. Movies like that are made to be seen on big screens.

So far, I would rate the sci-fi flicks I've seen thusly...

1) Star Trek

2) Wolverine

3) Transformers

4) Terminator

This movie is so bad it required two threads??

**Reaper16** · 06-30-2009, 10:44 PM

Should have made this a public poll, so the all of people who voted "Love It" can be outed for the ****tasters that they are.

Let's see one is posted about the previews of the movie. The other is based on peoples opinions.

So, I guess, yes it does.

I'm pretty sure they've spoke to it and they're in the majority.

Which doesn't surprise me, seeing how much this movie is banking at the box office.

I wish more people had good taste is all.

The movie wasn't great ... it was just really, really good! It's not deep, it's not trying to make an artistic statement, it is simply trying to entertain audiences with good action and a fun story. My advice - ignore the critics on this one. I notice this movie has begun a war of words between the critics, who have almost unanimously lambasted the film, and the moviegoers, who have almost universally loved it. I think the moviegoing public is finally realizing that the critics, no matter how much they prop themselves up as professionals and experts, are really nothing more than moviegoers with an opinion and a podium, and it's long past time that people stopped looking to them for guidance on whether a movie is good or bad. The blasting the critics are giving this film is tolling the death knell on their credibility. And the last few "professional critic" reviews I've read suggest they know it, and they're pretty bitter about it! I never have cared much for pompous blowhards who think a internet podium and a degree in film or theater gives them an objective viewpoint on these things. It's about time a movie came along that brought those idiots back down to earth.

So read the critics' reviews for a chuckle if you like, then go see this highly enjoyable movie! It's a lot better than the first one, in my opinion. Yeah, sure there are some plot holes and inconsistencies (like how'd they manage to fit several acres of open field with rows and rows of old aircraft in back of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum)? But it's nothing that will significantly challenge the willful suspension of disbelief, and no moreso than any other sci-fi film.

Go see it! I've never been a Transformers fan, but I give this one two thumbs up!

Really, as long as you go into it looking for entertainment, and not looking for Oscar-caliber performances and Tom Clancy levels of intrigue, it's not hard to enjoy.

Micjones · 07-01-2009, 01:44 AM

Best. Review. Ever.

And now I'm wondering why I liked this film.
OUCH!

Hootie · 07-01-2009, 01:46 AM

Well...I really enjoyed the first one.

This time (and I'm simply not a big fan on this kind of movie usually)...all I was really waiting for was the end...it wasn't terrible, but I wasn't excited...and about an hour in I was just hoping it would be over soon.

4.5/10
