When reviewing Transformers 2, the critic can give his opinion, but he should also ask himself, "will 12-35 year old males have an orgasm over all of the giant fighting robots and exploding stuff?" and express if that group should go see it, instead of telling everyone to avoid it because the plot is a mess.

Even technically, there has to be some merit there, and enough to give it a recommendation. There's a lot of artistry that goes into making special effects of this caliber, and if you like loud dumb action, this probably the movie to go see. Nothing wrong with that.

I love my slow, character drama indies, but I also like to see the living dog dookie get blown out of everything in sight by giant robots that turn into cars.

If I was a critic, I would be smart enough to know when to lower my standards on certain areas and take something at its face value, if it has the kind of stuff I enjoy. It takes a better person to not be afraid to admit that you like stupid shit.

I'm seeing it today in IMAX and I hope to have my skull fucked properly by this movie, regardless of how silly it is.
