to the critics

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2009)

i'm sorry, i must have misunderstood what movie you were commenting on. i was actually looking for a review of the movie "Transformers 2", and expected the commentary to reflect a movie based on a children's television program from over 20 years ago. Everyone has grown up since then, but the reason we go to see transformers as "sophisticated" adults is to reach back to that nostalgia - this is what we are after. movies are pieces of art that tell a story, sometimes these stories are fantastical/dramatic/philosophical etc., not every movie should have to fit all criteria provided by the movie critics who would prefer every movie to be citizen kane, or the godfather perhaps. in fact, if you went to see transformers and you have something along the lines of "there was little character development - it didn't move me - the dialogue wasn't what i wanted" it is you who are the lesser for having complaints when you should have known what you were going to see before you bought your ticket. it's transformers, don't try to make it something else - each movie/book/painting has its place - learn to like things for what they are
