C'mon, if we want more robots and less humans in TF3, we need TF2 to surpass The Dark Knight.

Absolutely! I want more bots.

I expected the movie to slow down after the generally negative reviews from the press... I guess people are ignoring the critics and acknowledging that even if it's a far from perfect show, it's a lot of fun and damn entertaining.

The thing this movie really has going for it is that all the other big movies that could have ran against it had their showing in May. Star Trek, Wolverine, etc. were all May releases and their fanfare is done with.

What's Transformers up against right now? Some chick flicks and some other family shows. There isn't much else new out there that can really compete and isn't going to be for awhile.

Transformers is "A Boy and His Car" story base. there will have to be that portion of the humans vs. bots time dealt with no matter how well the movie does.

As per the Dark Knight, (which was good, coming from someone who doesn't like the Batman comic series in general) am I the only person who KNIOWS it really only did so well because of Heath Ledgers untimely demise? I know a lof of nonbatman movie goers who went to see it for that reason alone.

Oh, we all know it and the fact that Revenge is taking off like a runaway freight train even in the face of that fact is saying something huge about the Transformers. If it Beats the Dark Knight I will have to say that I'll be both thrilled but at the same time a little sad on Ledgers behalf because I very much liked him as an actor and it is always cool to have one final Tribute piece that is untouchable. "The Crow" with Brandon Lee was one of those that, while it never blew box-offices away, still stands out as a signature piece even though there were 2 other movies in the series.
Still, in the long run I'm rooting for the TF's to blow the records away.

That's the only thing critics should be....ignored!
