Pretty much the best review, ever.

If you haven't seen it yet and don't want, uh, spoilers....don't clicky.

If you have seen it, or don't care, and would like a laugh, do clicky!

I clicky! Kinda makes me want to go see it too. (in this reality, how long is it actually?)

It's two and a half hours long. When my brother asked me how it was all I could come up with was "long and explosive."

It looks terri-bad. Personally I'm staying away, Shia Lebeuf gives me a rash.

They add the equivalent of Jar Jar Bink's in Transformer mode X TWO. Enough said.

The robot fights aren't even good. They're well animated but poorly thought out and unsatisfying; too in-your-face to make sense half the time.

In Transformers 1 the final battle between Optimus and Megatron was really, really unsatisfying. I had forgotten this until Chris said something.

I've been giggling at that review for the last 15 minutes. XD

Also, George, why don't you have an avatar?!

WTF!

Furiouso

Weird I think my avatar went away. It used to be a grid pattern of some sort...

Woah. Ok, I guess it may not be safe watching the movie after all? Those plot holes sound like they could give someone a horrible affliction. Spontaneous combustion comes to mind...

A friend of mine saw the movie last night and told me that thanks to me she went into it with such low expectations that she actually enjoyed herself.

Reverse...er....something...ology.

Haha, I've had that happen with a few movies. I was like PFFFF THAT DIDN'T SUCK THAT HARD.

I have a friend who went to see it twice, once at work for free and once in the theaters... People here at Pixar have pretty high standards, but they know what kind of movie it is supposed to be. I think for those who could look past the lack of any redeeming social value, it was a big loud fun movie with lots of robots and girly eye candy.

When my friend went to see it in the real world, there were people laughing and really enjoying the film, even laughing along with the characters that were stereotyping the viewers themselves. So... in most of the world people don't really seem to care about quality and just want something dumb and fun.

God this is hilarious! I wasn't planning to see it but I almost want to now. No, not really.

Ok. Went to see this movie today with my father. It seems most* of those questions are pretty cynical and close minded to possible responses. Still hilarious, but my rebellious side is creating logical answers for quite a few of those questions.
EDIT: *some, maybe about 30~40% of the Q's.

But.....did you like the movie?

Yeah. as far as action went. meh on most of the jokes though. And, yeah, the plot could have been better, but adding that to the movie may have dislodged my dad;s head from his neck. He considered the action too intense :\
