    I just completely fail to see how any of these reasons that the movie sucks are relevant, or remotely applicable.


    An unrealistic Princeton? really? how does that matter in an stupid, alien, robot movie?


    Her attire is inappropriate for fighting alien robots? Is that what you want to go with? I'd be afraid to live in a world where it would be better for smoking women to not be dressed sexy. Also, exactly what would be appropriate attire?


    The dialog is bad? why are you even listening?


    The acting is bad? So?


    Really, if you go into a movie like this and your brain isn't shut off even before your cell phone then it's your own damn fault for not enjoying yourself.

    @jpech: Okay, that just earned you a heart-click.


    It's all about what you go in expecting. Of course it wasn't going to be another Kill Bill or Gone With the Wind. I, personally, am not expecting it to be an exceptional movie. I am expecting to see a scene in which Megan Fox and Isabel Lucas go at it. That's it. Oh, and maybe a couple dumb fight scenes.


    And apparently, I'm not going to be disappointed.


    Ray notwithstanding, who went to see this for the acting? I mean, really? And who tries listen to the dialogue with all the Baysplosions going on? We have long known that the Hollywood Transformers movies weren't faithful to the original. We all knew it was a giant GM product placement ad.


    Just bring a pair of ear plugs, and enjoy a great CG movie that has Megan Fox and Isabel Lucas going at each other's throat, and wish you could be Shia LeDouche in that scene.


    That's exactly what I am going to do, and I'll be damned if I'm disappointed according to what I've heard about the movie.

    Why is the movie so bad?

    1. Bad actors, including one female star with obvious aftermarket addons.


    2. It is the sequel to a bad movie that was a GM ad which itself was based on a 1980s toy ad disguised as a cartoon show.


    3. Hollywood only makes bad movies based on crap they already have the rights to.

    No offense to FSU alum, but the next time you're in the NJ area Matt I'll take you on a tour of Princeton (not my alma mater, btw). When classes are back in session. I think you'll be quite pleased with the ratios.

    Sadly, 99.6% of movies today are an attack on the intelligence of moviegoers.


    I saw an interview with Polanski once and he (basically) said the viewing audience "wouldn't accept Chinatown today"-as if the plot were too complex, too slow moving, etc.


    What I wouldn't give to be able to see a movie like Chinatown in a theatre.

    I was JUST thinking "CASINO!" when I was reading clinto's comment. Does this mean we're great minds that think alike?! CAN WE BE BEST FRIENDS?


    On a more serious note, it's true I feel that stupid movies are stopping us people from getting smarter movies, but well sometimes I just want to see shit blow up. Honestly I wasn't disappointed with TF2, cause it was exactly what I expected, nothing more nothing less.

    I've been seeing all the "critics" slam this movie so I know it will be good.


    My expectations for movie going are as follows.


    1. Shit blowing up


    2. Hot women


    3. Cool cars


    4. More shit blowing up


    I think I will be pleased with the result.
