Okay then, what is it exactly that you're trying to get at?

Sadly, I doubt it will. To the haters and purists nothing is ever good enough. I plan to enjoy this movie for what it is, giant robots smashing each other to bits, with some gigantic robot dinosaurs thrown into the mix this time around (and about slaggin' time, too!). It doesn't take away from what the Transformers was when I was growing up anymore than the dozen or so other permutations the franchise has taken in its 30 years, some of which I also enjoyed, some I skipped over and some I just didn't understand why it was received so well(*cough, Prime, cough*). The movies aren't perfect, but they're nice when you've got nothing better to do than throw in a good action flick. Don't let the haters get you down, the first three have made over $2.6 billion so far, so there must be at least a few other people who like them.
Just because they made $2.6 billion, doesn't make them good movies.

Such comments can only come from 30+ year old fan boys stuck in the past who think the Transformers franchise revolves around them. The movies updated the franchise for and created a new generation of fans, greatly increasing its public mindshare than ever before. Transformers has taken on many incarnations after G1, just because G1 was the first doesn't make it the best and only legit series. In fact, most G1 episodes were dumb, illogical, incoherent stories.
The movies may consistently get flak for being "bad movies", but they are the best thing to happen to the Transformers franchise.

Sabrblade ... he's just having what he considers to be fun. His sense of humor might not be your thing so just ignore it if that's the case.

OptiMagnus wrote:Well...that was certainly interesting. Much more interesting than I thought it was going to be.
Anyway, here are my thoughts:
-These trailers seem to focus more on Lockdown than Galvatron. Are they just not revealing much about Galvatron or is Lockdown the primary Decepticon antagonist?
BATTOUSAIXD wrote:So is this Galvatron, and can anyone tell if he is dead?

People also tend to not spend a ton of money on something really crappy. I didn't like Titanic. However, based on the box office success, I would have to grudgingly say that it was a decent movie to be so popular.
How does one define good or great in this sense? We could look at critics, but it is actually rare for a critical success to do very well at the box office or a box office smash do very well with critics. (Though this does seem to be a reversing trend of late.)
If we look at popularity, I.E. something people actually like, then I think it could be argued that $2.6 billion indicates something good.
(Disclaimer: I actually really liked Pacific Rim, so take all of this with a grain of salt.)
