Ignore the HATERS, Transformers 2 ROCKED THE HOUSE!

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2009)

Despite all the critical dribbles, I enjoyed this film. I remember two years ago, critics were very harsh on the first Transformers film. They said it was all about special effects with no heart and no story. As a fan of the Beast Wars cartoon, I was interested but had low expectations. I went in with nothing to expect, but, boy was I blown away, the first film had great action, terrific characters, and it was a fun popcorn movie that made over $700 million worldwide and got three Academy award nominations in the process.
Two years later the critics are at it again, calling this an empty vessel, I say they couldn't be more wrong, the audience I saw this film with was cheering at the action sequences, laughing at the jokes, and they seemed to have a really good time, in fact, I heard a tremendous amount of cheers and loud clapping when it was over. It seems audiences, who actually pay to see these types of popcorn films, like it far more than the critics who always dislike Michael Bay's movies.
This is the type of movie, similar to 1996's Independence Day, which was also trashed by many critics. It's a fun, loud, and cool popcorn movie that will have you on the edge of your seat. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is easily my favorite film of 2009 so far. IGNORE THE CRITICS, THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIFIC!
