What people with realistic expectations are looking for is a movie that has entertaining action scenes that make sense, characters that you like and a story/plot that is engaging enough that you don't feel so bored out of your mind watching it that you start to pick holes in it.

For example Aliens proves it is possible to go and watch a movie AND have expectations.

If you think its wrong to go watch a movie without having expectations just because its Micheal Bay or McG then you are totally retarded.

*I say likely as I refuse to pay money for a) a shit movie and b) to provide any kind of encouragement to the studios to keep making crap like this.
Agreed. I refuse to pay money for pos movies anymore. I didn't waste my money on Wolverine and I wont do so for this or GiJoe.

A movie that is pure action is fine in and of itself. there are plenty of good action moves. Aliens, Diehard, Ironman, theDarkKnight, etc.
The first ones dialogue was so bad it took away from what little good parts of the movie there were.
And the action scenes AREN'T EVEN GOOD. Starwars episode one. At least the lightsaber fights were good despite the rest of the movie being shit.
But giant blurs of grey blobs bouncing off each other is not good action.
Are you seriously saying all you can about is explosions and movement. Would you really go spend 10.50 to watch car crashes for 2.5 hours?

And if that "black" twins are what I'm hearing, that shit is just plain offensive and inexcusable.

Won't someone please think of the children!

And yes, I would go watch car crashes for 2.5 hours in IMAX or on a big screen with surround sound. Especially if it's done like pancake car on Mythbusters.

after I said it, it did sound pretty sweet.
Forget the pretense of shitty story from bay.
But high def IMAX car wrecks?! Like Planet Earth or Jordan, but more awesome.

People pay a fuck ton more then 10.50 to watch cars take left turns for 3-4hrs in the hopes that at least one crash will happen, have you not heard of NASCAR?

Disappointing as hell, and everyone I went with hated it. While most of my complaints have already been stated, I just want to echo that Devastator's role was
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
so fucking lame. I actually thought they did a badass job creating him but all he did was eat some goddamn sand and fuck with rocks on the pyramid. He should've been killing autobots left and right, and yet Bay wouldn't even allow him to kill the worthless fucking twins? It's sad when the Transforminators joke trailer is correct in predicting Devastator's evil purpose.


The action in this movie was almost entirely terrible, the plot was mediocre, and the humor was fucking unbearable. Every time the Twins spoke I just wanted to hit someone, and the leg-humping shit? Really? I fucking hate Michael Bay.

Edit: Also, wrecking ball testicles? Jesus fucking Christ...

why did they feel the need to create ethnic robots? Transformers are from another planet, they speak english, just becuase they speak english correctly doesnt mean they are honkies. was there an outcry because they didnt use words like Erf, wif, dat and dem?

Just because black culture has changed in the last 25 years doesn't make the original any less of a stereotype.

Going to see it in IMAX in a couple hours. Went that route because supposedly the IMAX cut has a few more minutes of robot fighting in it.

It was a great movie for what I was expecting... Transformers 2.

I wonder how many minutes of or samples of that Linkin Park song are in the movie, or how many times they did that signature tone/growl they do for their dramatic scene changes. And holy cow, Michael Bay rotation-around-_______ was in overdrive for this flick.

I enjoyed it a lot. Felt like the cartoon much more than the first one. And I liked the humor, the twins were pretty funny most of the time.

Some parts were semi-disapointing, but every movie has that.
