Why not just wait 138 days and oh ... go and see it for yourself and then decide?
Because right now I don't want to put my money behind a product I don't support 100%.
See, I don't get this. It's going to cost you what, less than $20 and a few hours of your life. Seems a small price to pay to make up your own mind for yourself and not influenced by the opinions of others.
Oh and if you feel it's a big conspiracy with money changing hands, consider this.
Don't you think Don Murphy would have paid Ryan off following the Megatron incident instead of the full scale forum war that ensured? Wouldn't it have been easier to pay the webmasters off months ago to ensure negative criticism didn't appear on ANY of the major TF sites? Why would they wait to pay them off after seeing 20-30 mins of footage when the damage is obviously already done?
I most certainly do NOT believe that it is a conspiracy at all and am quite sickened by the baseless and unfounded accusations leveled against Ryan. What is the source of the conflict in my mind is the contradiction between what we have been told by those who have made the movie and what we have seen thus far. To put it simply I'm finding it hard to believe that the movie will do the great homage that Bay and company have stated to the franchise when none of the images and plot summaries thus far have drawn upon the archtypes we know so well. Before I spend $10-$20 on a movie I like to know what I'm in for.
