Is the movie worth watching a second time?
The answer is yes. Having high expectations as a Transfan really made the movie (at first viewing) sub-par at best. Seeing it a second time around gave me a chance to enjoy the special effects more and focus on all the hidden "old-skool" Transformer energon goodies (even Beast Wars had some influence it seems). So fer sure... see it again fanboyz and girlz, and it might just win you back!

Yep. And a third and a fourth and so on.

From ToplessRobot.com:• "Watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is marginally better than sh***ing your pants, but it takes a lot longer." Very well put.

Personally can't justify the cost of going to the theater more than once. Not when the DVD release is only about 4 months away and costs about the same as one trip to the theater for me and my son.
Though if matinee prices were about the same as 2-3 years ago the last time I saw a movie in a theater I would definitely be there. $4.50 was more than fair, $7 is crazy. Then concession prices on top of that. While the screen size is nice and all nothing beats the comfort of watching a movie in your own home. Especially if you have a nice home theater setup.
However if you're ok with the price then it is certainly worth a second viewing. I am sorely tempted myself. But I hate paying so much for just one viewing.

I think there's a lot to be picked up on with a second viewing. There's a lot of fun stuff with the Autobots in the background in various scenes, especially Ratchet and Ironhide, that you miss when you're looking at the focus character(usually Prime).
I'm going to use and abuse the dollar theatre when this hits there.

I wish I could go and see it again. Every opportunity Ive had to go has blown up in my face. School, funerals, meetings, keeping the peace at home, doing chores that my lazy ass sister won't do. That sort of thing. Im going tommorow I promise.

Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Working on a third time, but there have been a flood of other movies to see lately...ala HPOP, INPYCL, 1408, etc...
Still a great movie though, I just need some time between views to 'forget' things.

Getting used to something is not the same thing as liking it. Even if you try hard to convince yourself that it is.

Great to see everyone is supporting the movie but I find it hard to justify to watch it a third time. The only reason I would see it again is if my son was a bit older, otherwise I'll wait for it on DVD. But I did watch the animated full-length movie over 100 times (only once in theaters, I was a kid with little allowance). Well continue to show interest in this topic and I will conduct a survey based on the results of the first month of discussions.

I saw it twice. Wouldn't be against a third time. Or a fourth. It's just that slagging awesome.
Life can be pretty sweet when your alt-mode is a B-2 Stealth Bomber.

Seen it twice and it is better second time around. Can't believe how funny it is. Cullen was great as Prime and I quite liked Ratchet's voice. Loved Barricade and found Frenzy's escape from Airforce One very funny.
Those were previews, officially opening here on Friday and I'm supposed to go with a crowd from work. Also the day I'm gettin my hols.
Side note, the PS2 game is fantastic.

ive watched it for the fourth time last night.... if you really enjoy it and are tempted to watch it a second time, go for it. the way i see is that its not gonna be i theaters forever, so might as well see it and enjoy on a big screen with pumping surround sound audio while you still can.
