Can't wait, I'm seeing it on Sunday :D

Some of my mates are at the cinema watching it as we speak and I'll be seeing it tonight.

I tend to ignore critics. They aren't always right. I'll know myself tonight but it better not let me down like T4.

I'll wait till I've seen it. This is the one movie I am definately not gonna miss, and all these negative reviews are just psyching me up some more, just to (hopefully) prove them wrong.

Watching it tonight.

Heading to the cinema soon, Ill you know my thoughts when I get back :)

[matthewmarley]

Just back from the cinema, they movie was awesome !!! I thought it was even better than the first and that would be hard. It had the best effects that I have prob ever seen in a movie !! I want to go watch it again now..... :)

Found a more positive review:

Is it any good? The first thing you need to do before you see this movie, and you should see this movie, is disengage your brain. This is not a thinking man?s film that will provoke deep discussions, it?s a summer blockbuster of the purest form and it?s just meant to be fun. It?s not perfect but it?s the flaws are only visible because the rest of the film is SO good. The script is tighter and funnier where the first film couldn?t decide how to gauge the laugh levels and the acting of all involved is far more fitting for the film?s tone. The set pieces are on a scale I don?t think I?ve ever seen before and will blow you away with a sound mix that you?ll feel rather than just hear ? you will literally vibrate in places! My only two issues with this are the length ? at just under two and a half hours it is a bit too long, and sometimes it plays too much to the younger demographic where you feel it?s more about marketing the spin off toys than the movie itself. The plot is half decent though which is a relief as the first one didn't have much of one really. However, despite its few faults, this is this summer?s biggest ticket and ties with Star Trek for the best summer blockbuster of 2009.

Also, a friend just got from seeing it, he wanted to say this on Facebook:

the special effects are just blinding now, probably the best for its time

Just got back from seeing it. The critics are full of s_ _t.

This is a great film and great sequal. Just as good if not better than the first.

Load more robots and a lot more humour thrown in.

Great film and well worth the ?5.50.

Best film of year so far by a mile.

I'd give it an 8/10.

Honestly, Movie Critics these days rate every god damn move low unless it's some 4 hour long sob story based on a true story from the northern mountain range of Norway.

Lucky UKer's. We have to wait until next week. :p I KNEW Megan Fox was not that hot in real life! I only found her hot in the Transformers movie, but in real life I was like wtf. :p

[matthewmarley]

She is even hotter in this movie than she was in the first !!

[lee31]

She is even hotter in this movie than she was in the first !!

Agreed.

Complete role reversal though. Sam did all the chasing in the first one and now she seemed to do all the chasing in this with all the "tell me you love me" stuff.

Transformers 2 - Now 38% at RT. :o :no:

First off you have to ask yourself. Why is it exactly we pay good money to go see a transformers movie? First off Michael bay is directing so can you really expect THAT good of story? Also I wasn't blown away with the acting from the first movie. I thought there was WAY too much humor mixed in when the movie should have been rated R (but that would have prevented the main audience which was pre teens from going to see it.) So what are we left with? Special Effects. We are left with watching robots kick the **** out of each other in such a spectacular manor that it makes you want to wet yourself. That's why we all really go see a movie like transformer. So RT gave it a 38% who cares as long as we get to see some good old fashion robot butt kicking.

There is no need to get angry. :o I just posted the ratings. :p I also don't care about critics and will definitely see the movie. :D

[SuperJediMedia]

Stupid Critics doesn't understand what kind of movie Transformers is, where Transformers came from, they Don't get it!!!

Argh, who cares?

Most of them like SLOW/BORING movies without ANY kind of action in it, whatsoever!

This sounds Awesome!

"A stunning opening sequence in Shanghai where the decent Autobot Optimus Prime (hurrah!) takes out a rogue Decepticon mono-cycle (boo!) packs more action into fifteen minutes than most films manage in two hours."

Can't wait, I'm seeing it on Sunday :D

Any one have the wallpaper from 1:25 of this clip? thanks!

Where did you manage to go see this for ?5.50?? The cheapest I've found it in London is the 02 Centre on Finchley Road in London...

Speaking of which - tonight i will enjoy Megan Fox

[TonyLock]

Just for the new OST Transformers album. AWESOME!

Yeah, gotta say I really love New Divide from Linkin Park and 21 Guns from Green Day grew up on me, now I really like it.

New Divide is something I can actually jam at with my electronic drum, so it's twice as nice for a song for me :p

[Aero_Rising]

Hoping to see this wednesday after work but unfortunately I think I'll have to go by myself :( I hate going to movies by myself but all my friends are busy and I don't have a girlfriend or anyone to go with.

[Victor Rambo]

Guys, Am I the only one who thinks Transformers movies are overrated in neowin? :shifty: Is that because of Megan fox? :shifty: :p

[Antaris Veteran]

^ Yes, yes you are :p
