Yea I’m ganna have to say that I won’t see it due to the overwhelming conclusion that it is horrible. If for example, the reviews said something along the lines of: It’s not that great or.. It’s pretty bad but it had some good aspects, then maybe I would see it. But since the conclusion is what it is.. no thanks. I may see it but god help me if it’s my money that’s going to be wasted.

And I’m sorry, but Iron Man was FAR better than Transformers.. like, c’mon now.. You probably thought “The Happening” was amazing.

I’d like to add that yea.. the racism is pretty prominent in Transformers I so I’d expect the same from the second… I’d explain it but I really don’t feel like it.

P.S: For anyone who says they’d see the movie just because of Megan Fox: wow. Just, wow. Waste your money if you want to but I’ll say this: Please don’t EVER waste your money on her or any comparable person (and I refuse to call her an actor).

I have not seen this film but I did like the first okay because I like Shia, but I will not pay 13.00 (that’s how much the movies are here) to be offended by goldteeth, simian(sp) feature having, illiterate, supposedly “hood”(meaning black) transformers as well as many other racist incidents in the film. On top of that the movie is 2 1/2 hours long with no plot. No thank you. Explosions and noise become tiresome without character development after a short time. Sometimes you can smell it from a mile away, why pay to step in it?

I saw having liked the first one and let me tell you, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. It is absolutely horrendous and I am angry at myself for having supported this film. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and give you money in support.
People say you can’t expect a masterpiece from a blockbuster and I fully know that but I can at least expect something.
It’s like Batman and Robin. Noone says well that’s based on a comic and it’s a blockbuster what do you expect, because it is terrible and Batman Begins showed it can be good.
Transformers 2 has made me truly see the criticism others have had for Michael Bay all along, I get it now.

@ Ashley== seriously, you thought Transformers I was better than Iron Man? Not to be rude, but now I’m just questioning your tastes in movies all around

I saw it last night. There were parts I was turned off on and others that were actually pretty good. I was surprised at the amount of cussing in the movie. Very. Granted it’s a PG-13 movie I was still shocked.

It’s a movie to see on a summer day in which you have nothing to do. Plus if you need a Shia fix. That man… The things I’d do to him.

I agree aw! the CGI was fantastic. I usually can’t stand the fake look of CGI movies but the frist one was great. I’m sure the second one will be just as good.

I wasn’t going to see the first one but then one day I was bored and it was the only thing on HBO on Demand I hadn’t see so I hit play and I was plesantly surprised. I didn’t expect to like it and while I couldn’t stand Meghan Fox, it was a pretty good action film, much better than Iron Man which got tons of hype.

It’s not going to be an Oscar contender for Best Picture. Do you really expect it to excel at dramatic acting? Just enjoy it as a comic book film and stop taking it so seriously.

I’ll see it no matter what the critics (or anyone else) says. I grew up with them, liked the cartoon on TV, and liked the first movie. The CGI is great.

I don’t think you can overanalyze movies like this..this is more like a “turn your brain off and have a good time kinda flick”..I liked the first one, but I do agree that the 2 and a half hours is going to be brutal. And they are right..it may suck, but it’s been hyped up so much, that everyone will see it…including me

Eddy,

I love crappy movies, but I am cheap so I would rather rent them than go to the theatre. Matter of fact my spouse is known for picking the worst films possible, not on purpose, and recently he got possibly the worst I have ever seen “Satans Little Helper”, if you have a chance to rent that one I suggest you go for it, cocktails and beer will enhance your viewing pleasure.
