I loved the first Transformers movie, and as I said, I've liked watching blockbusters ever since. Though I know which ones are crap and which ones aren't.<br />3D isn't as great as people would have you believe. It's cool to have the people looking real and all, but I'd still go for 2D any day.<br /><br /><b>Mike</b> - Transformers 2 was such a let down :(<br />Yeah, the trailer did nothing for me and I only decided to see it when the positive reviews started sifting through. The outcome was great! It was such a good time.<br /><br /><b>Matt</b> - I hope you enjoy it as I did!<br /><br /><b>Andy</b> - Thanks! And I agree with you, it has a great blend of genres! <br />I found myself comparing this to Iron Man 2 heaps. This film is much better than that, as it is so simple and there aren't so many villains, which I liked. But you're right, there were quite a lot of characters, and I felt like we didn't get to know them enough (hence the reason I wanted a little longer with the movie). Some didn't have much to do...but they were still there, like premium extras. <br />It was a great opening to the blockbuster season!<br /><br /><b>Jack</b> - I can't believe someone like Branagh made this film. It's so weird. The reviews are actually only average, though it still holds a really high rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so I doubt this is five star fun, but I thought it was cool!<br />If you don't like superhero movies, then you'll probably have problems with this one. Even though Thor isn't a superhero...he's a God.<br />Thanks!Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-8011362015587652812011-05-05T11:55:23.566+12:002011-05-05T11:55:23.566+12:00I have to admit I was sceptical about whether Bran...I have to admit I was sceptical about whether Branagh could make a big blockbuster like this, but most of the reviews are praising the film so I'm definitely going to see it now. <br />I doubt I will liek it as much as you did though as I find I generally have a lot of problems with superhero films...<br /><br />Great review SteveeJack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-59188124429537547582011-05-05T10:25:36.032+12:002011-05-05T10:25:36.032+12:00Great review Stevee!

I enjoyed it more than I expected also, though I wasn't quite as excited as you were by the end :-p It's a strong blend of drama and comedy, and some of the action scenes (well only one actually) were pretty impressive. Unlike Iron Man 2, which was overblown with villains and characters, this keeps it simple, and is all the better for it. I still think some of the supports had very little to do. Like, why were there four companions that came to Earth? Two did absolutely nothing. Nevertheless, a solid opening to the Blockbuster season!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-37578491604542692242011-05-05T10:15:49.063+12:002011-05-05T10:15:49.063+12:00I did not like either Transformer films, and could...I did not like either Transformer films, and could not agree more with your first statement.

Too bad Transformers 2 was about as bad as anything else he has done.<br /><br />I wasn't looking forward to this really.
