Transformers 2

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

Righttttttttttt. Because you admittedly follow the line of so called critics you are smart. How do you know you are smart when all you do is follow what someone else is telling you?

I, for one, am privy to this valuable tool called "reading comprehension." I can look at an earlier post of mine in which I said that "My opinions on movies tend to skew along the same lines as respected professional movie critics" and comprehend the sentence's meaning. Various word choices such as skew and tend help to anchor the meaning that my film opinions often end up being similar to good professional critics. No where in that sentence is the implication that I merely "follow what someone else is telling me," as you assert like a coward/dumbshit. I do not admit that I follow their line. I said that our thoughts line up a lot.

That's awesome!!!! You must be smart!!! Only an enlightened soul such as yours could take me enjoying a popcorn flick as being an idiot, coward and dumbshit.

Genious since they watch the movies first I am only left to one conclusion. You follow their lead. You shouldn't be angry about it. You should embrace it.

It saves alot of energy, you know, not having to think for yourself and all.

I enjoyed the movie alot. It was exactly what I expected going into it plenty of action and explosions but felt it was a little too long - I was ready for the movie to end. I think the first one was much better and thought the ending of the second was a little too over dramatic. The attention to detail was cool! You could see the fatigue in the metal during the fight scenes and the sound effects were incredible.

According to the enlightened one that makes you an idiot.

Unless a more popular critic tells him that he likes it. That might sway his opinion.

All joking aside I agree with everything in this post. I did feel there was a LOT of filler in there that could have been cut out.

Well, tell the "enlightened one" that HE is an idiot if he expected anything more from this movie.

It is a summer time blockbuster nothing more, nothing less. Hell, it's got Megan Fox and the aircraft carrier scene alone was worth the price of admission!

I thought their was a lot of talk about a "Fax" option instead of a GAZ option?

Went and saw the movie in IMAX yesterday. Best eye candy movie ever. A visual summer festival movie. They are getting much better in blending CGI and real stunts together. Of course Megan Fox running with her rack bouncing had to be slow mo'd. NTTIAWWT.

As far as a movie, it was okay, could have been better. But, I didn't go in expecting to see an Oscar caliber movie. It met my expectations. I'd highly recommend seeing this one in IMX.

Now Star Trek was a visual treat and had good acting and story lines. Best movie I've seen in the theatres in a while.

Truth be told, I don't read a lot of movie criticism. There are a couple of critics that I regularly read before I see a movie. I may check out more reviews after seeing it.

But please, continue on with this nonsensical position that I lack critical thinking skills.

Here is a thought: why can't we ask more of our CGI-laden action movies? There is a gold standard for the genre set just last year. It is called "Iron Man." Transformers 2 falls depressingly short of the Iron Man standard.

Really? I saw Iron Man and thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly RDJ, but after watching it I didn't think it was the Gold Standard for much of anything.

(Although it was better than Transformers2)

And it's not like Ironman was all that great, either.

I agree - saying "well its just a CGI action movie, what do you expect?" is a total cop out, only uttered by fan boys and morons.

[Reaper16]

I disagree. I thought that Iron Man was a legit 3-star movie.

I assume you're using a 5-star model?

I agree it was a well done flick, but I don't know about gold standard for CGI movies.
