I have a newfound appreciation for the movies. it's still a mess of filmmaking, but I look at it as an experiment in what exactly a director can get away with in filmmaking. not that Bay was taking advantage of the audience, just that he was clearly trying to do something completely out of left field. it's like the message of the movie is "everything that looks right is actually backwards" but didn't really give anyone big enough clues to actually pick up on any of it. so it just feels a jumbled mess of unidentifiable scenes. i'm not saying Bay is a hidden genius... i'm saying he clearly had a very specific vision that got lost in itself. the movies aren't all the same... they just use a VERY similar format.
I'm interested... do the dvd's have a director's commentary? I think it'd be very interesting to hear Michael Bay's version of things after reading that 500 page article that was posted last week

This. Took my nephews to see this. this movie was bad even for Bay's usual level of bad. I took 2 Xanax just before the movie started and fell asleep for part of it. I'm pretty sure that watching a Michael Bay movie from beginning to end is one of Dante's levels of hell. If karma does in fact exist, I'm expecting to win the lottery tomorrow night, as that is the only way the universe could be balanced again for having to suffer through this shitty of a movie.

OK. The wife wanted to see this today so we went.
Going into the theater there was a big sign on the front stating that the theater was trying to get a liquor license so they could start serving booze, I should have seen this as an foreshadowing. With that said, here's what I went in expecting/wanting out of this movie..
1) Robots fighting Robots... check.
2) Dinobots... check (although not as much as I would have preferred)
3) No Shilo LeWhatTheFuckEver.... check.
4) Shit blowing up... check.
So from my perspective it performed to expectations. Drawbacks were possibly the worst dialogue I have seen (even in a robot fighting explosion movie) in a LONG time. (esp. Optimus' little soliloquy at the end)
Unexpected bonus... Short of dying of cancer for us on screen and wearing a turtleneck while doing it Stanley Tucci (who I love as an actor) did the best Steve Jobs impersonation I have ever seen.
So I'll give it a "Meh" out of... oh.. "meh"
P.S. - For those in Dallas, the theater getting a booze license soon is the Cinemark at 635/Walnut Hill, i.e. soon we'll get to booze up for IMAX!

Eh, I don';t get the Bay hate. You know what you're going to get from him in every single movie. It's not like you go watch and come out of it going "WTF? That movie only concentrated on explosions and special effects, where was the passion, where was the embodiment of all the feels?"
No, you go in knowing dialog will suffer and you're going to get explosions and lol worthy exaggerated explosions with in all honesty, very good special effects. If you get pissed off at that, it's your own fault really because it's not like we don't have other bodies of work here to compare to.
That said, movie was what I thought it would be. Poor plot, worse dialog and fun robot fights and cool splosions.
