Well their job isn't to predict the popularity or profitability of a movie.

In other words, say if a movie is good or not.

Yes, don't confuse good with popular.

By that line of logic mcdonalds, micheal jackson and budweiser are fine fare.

The critics, namely rottentomatos, have never steered me wrong. But that's me, if a movie makes one happy that's all that matters.

For me there is no middle ground when it comes to movies, or any medium of literature. It either hits what it was aiming at, or fails.

You can usually discern in the first parts of the movie what the creators of a movie were aiming for. Sometimes you can't untill the conclusion, and that's fine.

If a movie has a highly implausible premise it can still work if it doesn't take it's self too seriously. For example Back to the Future, a fanciful and implausible plot, but it was a very amusing movie, because that's what it was trying to be. Had the creators of Back to the Future tried to go a different direction, say scary, or serious, or suspensefull, it would have failed.

In the suave system, there 3 ways that a movie can fail, but only one way it can succeed.

1. The movie is trying to create something that is lame, and it fails. These movies suck.

2. The movie is trying to create something that is lame, and it succeeds. These movies suck.  For example, Power Rangers, Bride of Chucky, Air Bud, even if these movies succesfully conveyed what they were going for, they would still suck.

3. The movie that is trying to create something cool and fails. These movies suck.

4. The movie that is trying to create something cool and is successful. These are good movies, they are rare.

Seriously, though, GO SEE IT. I think they did a superb job of capturing the original cartoon, and I understood most of the changes they needed to make (Like Megatron's alternate mode).


I think she is giving me an alternate mode..... :eek:



Taking the kid to it thisafternoon before my TDY to Alaska... Hope he sits still long enough for it all...

I saw it again today. I'll probably see it again sometime this coming week.

And that is why this movie is going to make some BIG bucks, because people are going to see it over and over. There's just so much going on it's almost impossible to see it all.

Now if only I can tear my eyes off Megan Fox's perfect midriff, legs and cleavage....

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I took the boys again with their cousin. It was indeed excellent ~ although I wasn't cued in on Megan Fox like Saxman was.

Just took my 2 boys and a neighbor boy to see it. They were pretty excited and enjoyed it.

I didn't grow up with "transdeformers" so the names "Optimus" and "Megatron" were certainly new to me.  I enjoyed it for the first 90 minutes, then it became a very looooooooooooong movie.

There were some very funny scenes in that movie, thumbs up for that! :aok
