If you thought my C-grade review of “Transformers” was too harsh on the lovable, it’s-summertime-so-we’ve-all-lowered-our-expectations action flick, then you definitely will not enjoy my friend Dawn Taylor’s thorough trashing of it, which is funnier and more insightful than my review was. The part about sociopaths is especially good.
This is a very funny review. I recommend it as good summer reading.
Roger Ebert, meanwhile, gave it three stars and a “thumbs up” . . .
2.5 hours…yikes. r
Yea… I didn’t really expect such a mixed array of reviews. I’ve seen everything from a D to an A.
I haven’t seen it yet, but just from reading what Eric had to say, I see Michael Bay hasn’t changed much unfortunately.
This movie was awful. Honestly I am surprised that it even got a C from Eric. I would hate to see anything that he thought was worse than this movie.
I enjoyed that lady’s review, but OMFG I hate websites that wont let you click the friggin BACK button!!! What the bloody HELL is THAT!!
“Your on my website and now you must stay!!”
the only escape is clicking the back button like a madman before the stupid coding can re-direct you back to the webpage. I thought that was only on the creepy porn sites!……. a friend told me…. 😛
Dave, what on earth are you talking about? The site I linked to lets you move about in any direction you choose.
“And he doesn’t care that we care, either. Because he’s a sociopath.” Classic.
Also, it should be noted that GM is heavily involved in marketing this film, for obvious reasons. I also find it amusing that they are advertising special deals on 2007 GM vehicles in connection with the film; the only people over 17 who are voluntarily watching this film also live in their parents’ basements and cannot possibly afford one of the aforementioned 2007 GM vehicles.
