Transformers III now being pummeled by critics...

[jwyblejr]

From what I'm hearing,it's made $97.5 million so far. Shows what critics know.

I liked this one but it was waaaay to long. I was starting to drift in and out about 3/4's of the way through. I managed to wake up in time to see the big finally. I don't think I'll see it again any time soon but I want a Shockwave figure now.

I've seen all three, probably enjoyed this one as mutch as the first...maybe a little more. Had a good time with my son. We both liked it. I would reccommend it to friends.

i was going to say there is no way i would watch this - BUT IF it is the double feature at my local single screen movie and draft house with another movie i want to see I MIGHT watch it. ---nevermind. i just checked it is not coming to studio 35.

I didn't care for the first one but I saw it on the small screen and i realize the appeal of this movie is the big screen special effects. I didn't see the second. I assume people in there 30' and mybe 20's have a history with this show but I never watched it as a kid so i don't even have nostalgia to tie me to it

Usually I'm the one that gets asked how things are when it comes to movies. Probably because I work there and see them for free. I still haven't seen Transformers 3 yet but I'm off today so I might do a matinee. I can say that the last few days were not as busy as I expected them to be. However, I think everyone was waiting for today (being Canada Day) which is why I'm glad I'm not working.

I did pop in to the theater a few times yesterday to see some parts. I liked the scenes I saw. My cousin said it's better then #2. My friend Jake says its terrible but he also said it's better then #2.

Captain America...here I come!

Also, another thing. I don’t really read or pay attention to reviews anymore thanks to the Internet and sites like MetaCritic: Just go there, check the cumulative reviews, see what the spread is between respected sources and readers and then decide.

There has never been a better era to ignore a reviewer and basically go, “Oh wow, all these papers say this movies stinks/rocks. Now what?”

I’d never see any of the Transformers films because I can’t stand the director, and the character designs are horrible. I will see Captain America since it really looks like a well done adaptation, the cast looks good and the production design looks great. Doesn’t hurt that the director (Joe Johnston) is a really excellent special effects guy who as a great track record even when he’s done some so-so work. He’s a pro. Michael Bay is a true hack who lucks out with explosions.

And the HOWLING COMMANDOS are in the film!

YES!

I will watch every one of these now! Actually, surprisingly I haven't seen any of them yet except for Conan, which I have saved on the DVR and probably watch about once a week or so.

There's really just that one 'splosion in it, right at the end, but there's plenty of face punching, so it evens out.

I'm actually watching Commando right now, though. It's about a Commando -who causes 'splosions.

There's exceptions, though, like "Enter the Dragon." The plot of that movie should be terrible and horrifying. But in reality, it has no plot - just face punching and a few 'splosions that make absolutely no sense, and is therefore awesome.

Hmmm... Lets test this theory out:

THOR, he's the god of thunder, resulting in some lightning, thunder, fighting and splosions.

Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides, they're pirates, they sail to stranger places, no Carribean tho in this film, but resulting in some fighting and splosions..

Green Lantern, he gets a lantern that glows green, resulting in some fighting and splosions.

Cars, a film about cars and some splosions

Captain America, he is a Captain and he's an American, resulting in some fighting and splosions.

Conan The Barbarian, His name's Conan, but he doesn't have a talk show, he is a Barbarian tho, resulting in fighting and blood and gore but no splosions.

Hey! This works pretty good.

I much prefer movies where the title of the movie is also the entire plot of the movie...

"Never follow the crowd" - there's like, what, one critic to every 20,000 non-critics who are going to see this thing? With all due respect, you're on the crowd's side in this thing, man.

Exactly...lol.

[Brazoo]

Another thing I don't get, this sentiment "I always make up my own mind", cuz, what? You guys watch every single movie that comes out? It's crazy. You pick and choose what you choose to watch just like everyone else.

I'm probably going to see this thing - I might even like it - but I know it's probably going to be garbage. I'm not better than anyone, I like violence and explosions, but I'm not going to call people "morons" and freak out just because I might enjoy something people (most likely correctly in this case) are pointing out that the quality of the movie is actually very poor.

[TheBigToyAuction.com]

I just hope they put some explosions in this one.

You and me, both.

Never follow the crowd is what i say, you gotta go and be your own judge, I have had people who have seen it last night tell me it was Awsome.

Not enough booze in the world.
