I couldn't even finish this. I left early to go smell the urinals in the restrooms instead.

So I went to see this with a friend and we ate 'magic brownies' before the start. That is the way to go.

I loved every second of it. I was into it like if I was watching the best movie ever. Then, I was so tired when it ended I passed out almost immediately. And now? I don't remember ANYTHING about the fricking movie. I don't want to remember and I don't want to watch it again because at least now I have the memory of enjoying it a lot.

So that's my recommendation if you go see this.

There's not enough magic in the world to make me want to go see this.

I don't understand - were both transformers bad?  I never saw the first one but it seemed enjoyable.  how is this one especially bad?  were there no monster robot scenes?

It's just fucking corny. Like when the transformer does something cool it will quip, "Damn, I make this look good!" and then strike a tough pose.

You paid to see this in a theater?  That doesn't fit your MO.

I didn't pay for Transformers. I paid for Away We Go (again) but went into Transformers. I'd never help a shitty movies gross. NEVER.

Megan Fox has to be one of the shittiest actresses in the world. She has absolutely no range. Maybe that's just working with Bay and I should wait for Jennifer's Body before declaring her a dime-store ScarJo. Shia isn't so bad. He's just annoying. He's going to be playing high school kids well into his 40's.

Yeah, he's kind of got that Ralph Macchio thing going on, doesn't he...

Yeah, he reminds me a lot of Michael J. Fox except without the irresistible charm.

Just stare at photos of her from Maxim while listening to a recording of pots and pans clanging for two and a half hours and you'll get the same experience.

i loved that.  it almost made me want to rent this.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

RegularKarate

Yeah, that thing is hilarious and makes the movie sound WAY more exciting than it is.
