    Hmm...how to make ROTF more exciting to watch?

    -Get rid of all objects in the room that you could commit suicide with, for starters.
    -If you really want to, smoke some pot while watching the film. It can make unfunny jokes actually funny!
    -Fast forward through the boring scenes to get straight into the action.

    Other than that, you're in for one wild ride.

    Disregard what people say who disliked the movie. It's not good but it's not bad. It certainly isn't terrible or TEH WURST MOVIE EVAR as some over-exaggerate. I found jokes funny, I laughed at Dev's balls and chuckled when Jetfire farted out a parachute.

    Some people say it's too loud. Bullshit. What do they expect, everytime Megatron shoots something a little flag with the word "BANG" comes out? Why don't we just have them all sit at a table and sip tea. Bleh.

    It's Transformers. They're giant fucking robots of course it's gonna be damn loud. Watch it, enjoy it, embrace it, have a nerdgasm, whatever.

    The opinions of those who disliked the movie are just as valid as the ones of those who did.

    But ROTF had many things in common with other action movies that people disliked. Why is ROTF being singled out? Just because it's Bay?

    People have a right to like or dislike it.

    It's just some people take it way too far, such as claiming the typical "This is the worst movie ever made!" and "Bay raped my childhood!"

    That's why some of the reviewers who saw this movie piss me off with their "Worst movie in the last decade." comments. That's over-doing it.

    As for people blaming Bay for it "sucking", I don't get why only Bay get's the blame. Shouldn't Spielberg get the blame as well? He was the fucking producer!

    Exactly! Thats what I'm trying to say.

    This movie isn't worth a ten, but it's certainly far from earning a 1. Worst movie of the decade? Wow so I suppose I should have paid to see Disaster Movie then, or Norbit, or any movie along those lines then. *sarcasm*

    Just watched it, and I gotta say..I didn't hate it.

    It had its abundant share of plotholes and major "WTF is the point of this scene" moments, but if you don't think about it too much - it's entertaining.

    I'm sure as hell not going to buy it or seek it out, but I'd watch it again if it was on TV. I didn't even mind the humor, I chuckled a few times.

    Not horrid, not great. If it had a cohesive solid plot that made sense and went even a little bit deeper into explaining things, it would have been awesome.

    Oh please. I've still only seen a ripped, bootlegged copy on a 7" netbook screen, and still thoroughly enjoy it.

    If it was more like the comic adaptation, it would have been. It's quite obvious that the writers and Bay had two separate visions for ROTF.
