    `Transformers': Worst-reviewed $400 million hit?



    After just five days, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is halfway to $400 million domestically, a box-office milestone only eight other movies have reached. If it climbs that high, the "Transformers" sequel will be by far the worst-reviewed movie ever to make the $400 million club.

    Critics and mainstream crowds often disagree, but "Revenge of the Fallen" sets a new standard for the gulf between what reviewers and mass audiences like.

    The movie pulled in $201.2 million since opening Wednesday, the second-best result for a movie in its first five days, just behind "The Dark Knight" with $203.8 million. Even after its whopping $60.6 million opening day, "Revenge of the Fallen" was packing theaters, a sign that unlike critics, who mostly hated the movie, audiences felt they were getting their money's worth and were giving the flick good word of mouth.

      Well, it has had a huge ad campaign behind it and the average cinema going person obviously likes things to blow up real good more than a logical and appealing story.

      Films are made to make money so the fact that it is pulling in so much means that as far as the studio is concerned it has been a success, it can be a crap movie too.

              the interesting thing about critics... is that they criticize. their existence revolves around finding fault with things. i walk into the theater because i want to be entertained... reviewers walk into a theater with an agenda.

                  Reviewers are fucking stupid because most of them measure everything with the same yardstick.

                  When reviewing Transformers 2, the critic can give his opinion, but he should also ask himself, "will 12-35 year old males have an orgasm over all of the giant fighting robots and exploding stuff?" and express if that group should go see it, instead of telling everyone to avoid it because the plot is a mess.

                  Even technically, there has to be some merit there, and enough to give it a recommendation. There's a lot of artistry that goes into making special effects of this caliber, and if you like loud dumb action, this probably the movie to go see. Nothing wrong with that.

                  I love my slow, character drama indies, but I also like to see the living dog dookie get blown out of everything in sight by giant robots that turn into cars.

                  If I was a critic, I would be smart enough to know when to lower my standards on certain areas and take something at its face value, if it has the kind of stuff I enjoy. It takes a better person to not be afraid to admit that you like stupid shit.

                  I'm seeing it today in IMAX and I hope to have my skull fucked properly by this movie, regardless of how silly it is.

                      If a "notable" critic admitted to enjoying a 100% action flick that may lack in plot or has holes in the story, they'd be risking their credibility, maybe even their jobs.

                      It doesn't change the fact that such a movie can be very entertaining.

                              That's probably a really good explanation for it.

                                  That's not quite true.

                                  Look at Roger Ebert, for example. He gave the first Transformers film 3 stars (out of 4), Shoot 'Em Up 3.5 stars, etc. Transformers 2 didn't get 1 star because it was an action flick, it got 1 star because it sucks ass.

                                  Compare a film to a dinner. Let's say an action film is dinner at a steak restaurant. Obviously, the main course is steak (action). But no matter how good the steak is, if the chef pisses in your drinks (the plot) or shits in your dessert (the acting), it will ruin the dinner.

                                  And that's what Michael Bay does in Transformers 2: he pisses in the beer and shits in the chocolate mousse. And no matter how good the steak may be, having to consume Michael Bay's excrement alongside with it ruins the entire meal for many people.

                                      The article states that the gulf is between what critics think and what the mass audience that the movie was intended for thinks. In other words, most people enjoyed the meal because they knew it was going to be fast food. I think the number of ticket sales supports this view.

                                      It's true that from a critical perspective the movie may not hold up. But few people care because the basic idea is that there are good robots and bad robots. The good ones help the humans beat up the bad ones. Everything else in between is thrown in for entertainment value. It's not for everybody but in the end it's the tried and true formula for summer blockbuster success.

                                                  The movie was pointless. The fight scenes looked like shit between the Transformers.

                                                  It also felt like I was watching back to back Army commercials and Chevy commercials.

                                                      If that movie didn't have air tight plot, Trekkies would have a fit. They're the analytical crowd. I haven't seen it so I can't comment, but I think both movies were geared toward vastly different audiences.

                                                                      It a nutshell, it was a good action film, that had it's slow points. There wasn't enough Megan Fox, and it was hard for me to follow the fighting scenes between multiple Transformers. When non-human objects are fighting hand-to-hand combat, it's difficult to see the finer details that make the fights badass.

                                                                                                                                  When reviewing Transformers 2, the critic can give his opinion, but he should also ask himself, "will 12-35 year old males have an orgasm over all of the giant fighting robots and exploding stuff?" and express if that group should go see it, instead of telling everyone to avoid it because the plot is a mess.

                                                                                                                                  Even technically, there has to be some merit there, and enough to give it a recommendation. There's a lot of artistry that goes into making special effects of this caliber, and if you like loud dumb action, this probably the movie to go see. Nothing wrong with that.

                                                                                                                                  I love my slow, character drama indies, but I also like to see the living dog dookie get blown out of everything in sight by giant robots that turn into cars.

                                                                                                                                  If I was a critic, I would be smart enough to know when to lower my standards on certain areas and take something at its face value, if it has the kind of stuff I enjoy. It takes a better person to not be afraid to admit that you like stupid shit.

                                                                                                                                  I'm seeing it today in IMAX and I hope to have my skull fucked properly by this movie, regardless of how silly it is.

From what im hearing just as many of the 12-35 year olds who have watched the film think it was a pile of shit as the amount who think it was good. I would say the reviews have been pretty fair.

I agreed with critics that it was an all around great action flick. One of the best. Transformers isn't close to that but it's no less entertaining from an action standpoint. What's baffling are those who gave the first Tranformers top grades but have sheer disdain for the second. I really didn't find each movie all that different from one another. Ebert supposedly gave the first one 3/4 stars. I saw it and rated it worse than that. But I guess we watched the films for different reasons.

Seriously! There are many scenes in the movie that held no significance whatsoever, and this movie could have been a whole lot better if it was shorter. All the fight scenes and seeing our favorite Transformers in the movie were worth watching, but the length just starts to wear down on you.

Were they expecting a highly complex plot? Many reviews said there was no plot and if you have seen the movie you know thats not true at all.

                                                                                                                                                      I also agree there wasn't enough Megan Fox, but I did enjoy the various humor spots in this movie. I like there were move robots that had more parts. I also think they made the action easier to follow by using more slow motion when the robots were fighting.

                                                                                                                                                      I don't go into a theater for intricate characters and detailed plots, I go to escape reality and be entertained. Transformers 2 delivered.

                                                                                                                                                                                              When reviewing Transformers 2, the critic can give his opinion, but he should also ask himself, "will 12-35 year old males have an orgasm over all of the giant fighting robots and exploding stuff?" and express if that group should go see it, instead of telling everyone to avoid it because the plot is a mess.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Even technically, there has to be some merit there, and enough to give it a recommendation. There's a lot of artistry that goes into making special effects of this caliber, and if you like loud dumb action, this probably the movie to go see. Nothing wrong with that.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I love my slow, character drama indies, but I also like to see the living dog dookie get blown out of everything in sight by giant robots that turn into cars.

It takes a better person to not be afraid to admit that you like stupid shit.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I'm seeing it today in IMAX and I hope to have my skull fucked properly by this movie, regardless of how silly it is.

The reason hollywood puts out crap is people like you settle for shit because "it's just an action movie". Maybe if people avoid this like the plauge Transformers 3 would actually have some writers that knew how to write.
