Transformers was Great

I don't want to reveal many details because I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone since it only came out today, but I went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for the first showing at midnight last night and was thrilled by how it turned out.

One thing I'll never understand is why so many critics can't get the idea that movies like this are not intended to have brilliant plot points, stellar acting, or anything else, they are made simply to entertain, blow some stuff up, and have some funny jokes.

That is exactly what I was looking for and it was exactly what I got, not to mention some incredibly awesome fight scenes where Optimus Prime battles basically the entirety of the Decepticon forces all on his own and totally wails on them.

Can't wait to see it again, perhaps on the IMAX next time because apparently the forest fight scene shows Optimus Prime at actual life size in the IMAX version.
