I call them liars. I doubt that they did.

I liked it... but there were some serious continuity issues. Pacing was wonky. And some of the comedy was pretty forced.

But it's like this. It's the transformers. Toys that became a cartoon that became a comic book that became a movie... And it's Michael Bay. If you go to a Michael Bay expecting anything other than a whole LOT of flash and not much substance... Well that's your problem right there!

For just being a big ol dumb action movie... I give it an 8. It is what it is. Go in expecting something deep and you will walk away disappointed.

Liked the first one, going to wait till the 2nd one is released on dvd.

I don't care if there's bad comedy. Give me more transformers beating the hell out of each other. That's what these movies are about . I'll be hitting the movie theater this weekend, and watching it multiple times. I'll be sipping a giant 42oz soda, and eating a bag of twizzlers. If you're in my Theater, TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING PHONE!

And this is why Hollywood keeps putting out more garbage. They can count on the money rolling in.

I shouldn't have said this. Who am I to judge people tastes. I am just being a hypocrite since I paid to go see it fully knowing what it was going to be like.

LOL, didnt' say I liked hollywood. I like tranformers. I'm an absolute fan.

An action flick is an action flick man. Some people are audio philes, and some people love movies. Even if you just have an account with Netflix. Hollywood is still getting your cash.

Don't mind me. I'm just bitter because I think there was so much more that could have been done. I love the Transformers also, but was hoping for something more.

I'm not sure if anybody else noticed this but.....a LOT of slow motion shots. Overdramatic much?

Still though, it had a good amount of oh shit moments.

lol

The whole theatre broke out into applause when megan fox's opening scene came on with her bent over the motorcycle.

Very good movie, not as story driven as the first, but it was a 2 hour 40 minute epic.
