• Remember what H.L. Mencken said? “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

  Today, that will be amended to: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American, Asian,and Western European public.

  Beyond that, this is the quote that should be tatooed on Michael Bay’s Ass –

  MY CREDO:
  “There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite.” – Paul Gauguin

• Bay is on track to make OVER $80 mil on this one.

  He made just $75 mil on the last Transformers, poor guy.

• ah god love em.. those that think McDonalds is the best restaurant in the world, that Kmart is the height of fashion and anyone with a University degree can’t be trusted come out in support of Transformers.

  Gotta love those that think decent dialogue, plot, character development, story are not really needed in a film. That said, this is not really a “film” is it, just a poor 2 hour special effects real.

  Oh, has anyone, anywhere, seen the type of girls bay conjures in his “Astronomy 101″ class. At least he could attempt 1% of reality in a film.

• I guess the problem with many critics with this movie is their inability to diff btw real and reel life.

  Also, the robots are an alien species and not just a metal box. I guess they are assuming all aliens looks like ET. So when the robots talk, dance, jokes, they were rolling their heads..sheesh!
