Did you think Transformers 2 was a good movie?

I heard that Transformers got bad reviews but I normally don't trust the reviews so what did everyone else think of the movie!|||The problem with critics is that they look at every movie and basically compare to their favorite ones. the one's that don't stack up don't do as well....also, they look at every movie as needing to have a moral lesson or something. they don't watch movies for entertainment, they watch it for education basically. if it doesn't teach you how to better your life, then they say its a bad movie.





The transformers 2 movie was freaking awesome and don't ever believe critics. i usually end up disagreeing with them anyway and the only thing that we have ever agreed on was the fact that heath ledger as the joker in dark knight was really gud....and that's not good (for the critics).





Does anyone else think that critics should appeal to the masses a little more...i mean really! If noone likes what you have to say, wouldn't they hate you.|||Transformers 2 made over $200 million last week. What it didn't make, however, was one lick of sense. Yahoo says it's the worst reviewed mega hit of all time. Rottentomatoes has it listed as only a 20 percent positive approval rating.





Personally, suspension of disbelief is usually not a problem for me. That being said, there were moments in this new "Transformers" movie that were so confusing, so contradictory, or so corny that they completely took me out of the movie.





1. In "Transformers," there was this giant battle in the middle of downtown Los Angeles that was witnessed by thousands of people. But somehow the government was able to cover up the whole thing, and now the existence of alien robots is just an internet rumor? How did they do it? Also, didn't Jon Voight go on TV and tell everyone we were being attacked by "a technological civilization far superior to our own"? How did they spin that?





2. There are two pieces of the Allspark cube left: the military has one under lock and key, and Sam discovers another. The Decepticons steal one and bring Megatron back to life. But when Sam (Shia LaBeouf) wants to bring back Optimus, he has to find the Matrix of Leadership on the other side of the globe. Why not use the other piece? Mikaela has it in her backpack the whole time. It brought his kitchen appliances to life, why can't it do the same for Optimus?





3. Speaking of Megatron's rebirth, when the Decepticons venture deep into the ocean to revive him, the Navy crew tracking them reads five contacts. When they get down there, they tear apart one of the robots for parts to rebuild Megatron. Then as they rise to the surface, the same Navy guys say they spot six contacts. Huh?





4. Why does the little robot that went to operate on Sam need glasses? HE'S A FREAKIN ROBOT!!!





5. Apparently, Transformers can look like people now. How? And how is it that even though the robo-girl (Isabel Lucas) is made of metal, she can still straddle Sam without crushing him. And if Bumblebee knows something's wrong with her, why does he spit antifreeze at her instead of telling Sam? Yes, his voicebox is broken, but wasn't it fixed at the end of the last movie?





6. The Fallen is the last of the Primes, since they all sacrificed themselves to stop him from destroying the sun. But then he says that Optimus is a descendant of the Primes. First, Transformers have kids? And second, how could he descend from them if they were all dead? And if the Fallen could only be destroyed by a Prime, why didn't the originals just gang up on him back in the day? And what makes Optimus so special, anyway? Megatron beat him earlier, but all it takes is a few spare parts from creaky old Jetfire for him to take out the Fallen?





7. Sam, Mikaela, and Simmons (John Turturro) go to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. to find Jetfire. Then they walk out the back onto a wide open field with old planes and mountains in the distance. When did the National Mall start to look so much like to Tucson, AZ (where they really filmed that scene)?





8. The geography is just as bad when they go to Egypt. The stone city of Petra in Jordan is over 250 miles away, over mountainous terrain, with few paved roads and the Israeli border between them, so how can they drive from one to the other in a couple of hours. And the Pyramids are said to be shooting distance from the Mediterranean, but they are actually well over 80 miles inland. Even if the Navy ship had a secret rail gun, and even if the captain would take an order to fire from a former agent of a government branch that no longer exists (over a walkie-talkie that inexplicably starts working again), how could it hit a moving target from that distance?





9. Sam briefly dies and goes to Robot Heaven. Robot Heaven?!?!





10. Where does Sam's bandage come from? What about his extra sock? Why does Sam's roommate not contribute anything at all? What was the Fallen doing for those thousands of years Megatron was frozen in ice? How does one satellite receive transmissions from everywhere on the planet? Why does Wheelie hump Mikaela's leg? Why do we have to see John Turturro's thong? Why are robots who join together to become Devastator also seen fighting the Army at the same time? Why does the government want only our military fighting Decepticons when our weapons seem unable to make so much as a dent on any of them? Why did the ancient Egyptians build a pyramid around the sun-destroying machines instead of just breaking it? Why is the Matrix of Leadership bigger in the Fallen's hand than in Sam's? And how do Mikaela's pants stay so clean?





Face it, the movie sucked.|||OK EXTREMELY INPORTANT


ok so the movie (for transformers fans) was pretty bad there was bad writing, acting, and directing. it did have LOADS of action but if you love the original transformers it was bad


ok so the movie (for NON transformers fans aka the people who saw the last movie, new kids, and people who never saw the ORIGINAL stuff) it was HELLA GOOD, it is spectatcular and had amazing action and cool stuff happening.


SO GO AND SEE IT


and if you dont like it thats your problem|||Dont listen to all the crap that the people that are saying that its a bad movie they must of been drunk when they saw it or something if they think that.The critics they always want to see something educational in the movie and if they dont they will wright a bad review if they dont find that.Transformers ROTF is the best movie i ever saw it has comedy and lots of action in it you should go see it I already seen it 4 times since wendsday and you should definitely see it.|||If the critics don't like it, then it's a good movie. Critics only look for hidden messages of touching feelings and emotions and educational things usually. Since the critics in my newspaper gave it a one star, I'll give it 5 stars. Helluva movie.|||I saw it today and thought it was really bad. I'm may be in the minority here, but I thought the first one was much, much better. I almost walked out of this one a couple of times, but I thought it would have to get better, so I stayed. It didn't get better. But that's just my opinion.|||That movie had the basic three B's to complete a horrible movie, Bad Writing, Bad Directing, and Bad acting. The whole entire time I was thinking about what I could've been watching, eating or doing with those last ten dollars I spent on Transformers.|||transformers 2 was the best movie ever!!! the critics say that transformers 2 was horrible and blah blah blah but there just finding "reasons" i already and 3 times... and u should not trust the critics|||I thought that it was aammmmaaaazzzzziiinnnggg, but i am a hardcore transformers fan :)|||Really like the beginning to the middle, but no so much from the middle to the end.|||it was an extremely good movie. I highly recomend going to see it.|||its a good movie|||YA|||Hell yeah.|||yes!|||excellent took my son for his birthday he loved itallso he's seven|||I liked the first one better.
