Transformers 2

It’s crazy how many people have already seen the movie seeing as it comes out today. But sadly, I’ve heard very few great things about it. I woke up bombarded with comments like:

“Like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan!” (Bradshaw, Guardian);

“Sums up everything that is most tedious, crass and despicable about modern Hollywood!” (Tookey, Daily Mail);

“A giant, lumbering idiot of a movie!” (Edwards, Daily Mirror).

Both the Associated Press and Roger Ebert review didn’t stray to far from those sentiments either, and that’s really really bad. Although, I’m not sure the first Transformers necessarily got great reviews from critics. It was just a movie that people wanted to see regardless. The franchise definitely hold it’s weight though, and I’m positive no matter how bad it is, it’s gonna rake in the cash. Is anyone going to see it tonight, or this weekend? I slacked on pre-ordering my tix so there’s really no telling when I’ll go. Let me know something, good, bad or indifferent.
