I LOVE Transformers, the first one, it's a solid 'A' grade
This one, the first sequel....'D'
One of the worst things to happen to Transformers was Fallen.
You didn't see many movies in 2011 then.Don't get me wrong, its got problems but don't be over the top.It's a C movie but I gave it a B cause all the Kato sequences are top notch!!
BIt's still very good but the film really does draw out the "origin" and backstory too much for my liking. I still own it but it's overrated to some degree imo.
AMy Holiday movie choices have thus far been a hat trick of success.I did think the bromance was a tad overplayed and heavy handed during the first act.However, once Moriarity really steps up his plan in Act II the movie returns much more form. So that if you enjoyed the first you should like this film as well.
ANever read the book. Didn't see the Swedish adaptions.Thought it took a bit long to get Michael and Lisbeth together. After that it really picked up.Very intense. The best "Adult Thriller" I've seen in some time. A couple two rows in front of me left during the 2-3 min violation scene. I admit it was graphic and I kept waiting for a cut away but they didn't.I also figured out part of the Harriet mystery.I'm sure the 15min epilogue of Lisbeth going all blonde bombshell embezzler plays into the next movie but it felt unneeded to a large degree.
AMay be the second best movie in the series. The Dubai hotel sequence was great in IMAX!!Hope that a fifth does indeed happen with Luthor back in an active capacity. We can take him not being in it as he wasn't part of the rescue team and thus not able to be in the loop for Hunt due to being disavowed and in hiding or laying low.
I don't know that I'd call it depressing. I never read the books or saw the other adaptions. I went in blind and enjoyed it even if it took over an hour to really get all the pieces flowing in the right direction.I would call it a Adult Thriller.
Captain Craig has arrived and sees many familiar usernames!! Hail, hail the gangs all here...or getting here. I'm a bit late it seems.I got to say $70m is a strong opening. I thought it possible we could see Twilight fatigue.
