Ah, yes. Transformers 2. It’s a movie we’ve all looked forward to. Sure, the first Transformers film left a bit to be desired, but it had giant robots in it. As everyone knows, giant robots are awesome. The fact that the first Transformers had giant robots in it, in and of itself, made the movie passable. It’s hard to completely screw up a film with giant robots in it.
And yet, somehow, Michael Bay has apparently found a way to do just that. Reviews of Transformers 2 are pouring in, and not a one of them is good. I haven’t seen a move panned this badly since…well, ever. Either these movie critics are all conspiring against Michael Bay’s latest masterpiece, or this movie suuuuuuucks. Here’s a sample, from Roger Ebert:
If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.
Here’s another review. And another. And another.

The movie was very enjoyable. Go see it. Nuff said.

I saw it last night, it was amazing. Much better than a first. And i’m not some transformers fanboy ether, this is from a 30 something chef.
I loved the Twins too, hilarious.
The movie kicks arse .. all those reviews are coming from over critical movie buzz review freaks .. they need to sit back and enjoy the movie with the sound turned way up.
This movie was made for the stupid and proud of it crowd. Once you realize that, all the comments defending it will make total sense to you.
First of all this is a Michael Bay movie, the man isn’t known for making good movies, he’s known for making action movies with lots of shaky cam, military shots, explosions, wide scenery shots, and moments of people all around the world looking awe inspired.
WTF were the critics expecting??? Seriously, that’s all the man knows how to do and even then he doesn’t do it right. But once you set that aside and just sit down and watch the movie it is entertaining, and that, after all, is the goal of all movies… to entertain. If you don’t like this movie because because it has no story or doesn’t make sense, you’re an idiot.
It wasn’t meant to make a whole lot of sense it was meant to entertain. Turn your brain off for 2 and a half hours and watch giant F***ing robots kick the tar out of each other and be entertained.
Regardless of what anyone says, the numbers don’t lie, this is the and will be the biggest movie of the year and one of the highest grossing films of all time. The critics can stuff that in their arses and live with the fact they were wrong…. or simply, they are stupid.

- So just because a movie is “expected” to be completely mindless and devoid of any character development, sensical plot, subtlety, [Insert good movie quality here], we should not criticize it when it delivers just that? I remember when dumb action flicks were at least somewhat creative or funny, possessing some redeeming quality at the very least. Now what we get are these absolutely retarded special effects displays with no purpose other than to leave you dumbfounded, drooling, and hypnotized. Yes, the effects are impressive, but half the time I couldn’t even tell what the hell was going on. It could have been two robots fighting, or a dump truck may have thrown up, I really couldn’t tell the difference half of the time. The twins, by the way, were insulting and honestly the racial stereotypes went a little far in my opinion. Also, what’s with the shameless Megan Foxx scenes? We’ve turned this beautiful girl into a damn porn star.

If you saw this and honestly thought a smart dialogue and followable storyline were even present then im at a loss for words. The forced humor was the most painful, the mother and the latino robots with bling for teeth speaking “hispanic gangsta” was some of the most excrutiating attempts at comedy ive ever been forced to watch. Megan fox’s acting was laughable proving once again like another actress I can mention (Jessica alba anyone?) that being hot as hell means your career may be to stay on the beach in a two piece with cameras rather than entering the bigscreen. Hands down one of the worst if not the worst action films i have ever seen. I hope Michael Bay contracts a terminal illness. if you sincerely enjoyed this film then I am in shock at your all time low standards for film.

I apologize for some of the grammatical errors. I am very tired and just got back from a giant dump michael bay took in my wallet.

Quoted for its complete truth and honesty.
I honestly think it was a fantastic movie, and for the people that didn’t enjoy it, probably didn’t understand it/Pay attention to it. It had a plot, and everything else. Maybe if the fuck asses go watch it again and pay attention to it, it’ll finally come to their sense that the movie is amazing.
Transformers…
