    While I cannot wait for DOTM to come to theaters I am at a 4 right now hopefully when the new trailer comes out it will be a 5 or higher.

    Personally i'm somewhat torn, some of the information about DOTM I am quite excited about (a badass Sentinel Prime, tanker truck Megs, Shockwave, a Ferrari TF) other information has made me rather worried (Redneck Wreckers, too many varying plot points, lack of advanced promotion).

    At this stage my anticipation for the film is about 3.5/5. While I can't wait to see certain things, I still have ROTF in my mind and I was *so* excited for that film, and felt incredibly disappointed by it as a fan and as a general movie goer. Things I hoped would be great (Soundwave, Devastator, the Matrix, JetPrime) were poorly executed or were not helped by the plot and I am beginning to see a similar trend with DOTM, where we're hearing of a lot of different situations and plot points that I fear may be too condensed and not be made clear, which was one of the biggest flaws of ROTF. Too many ideas, not enough time.

    Critics will initially be hesitant about DOTM due to ROTF, however any good film journalist/critic will take the film for it's individual strengths and weaknesses, and not just say 'well it's a sequel to ROTF so it automatically sucks'.

    I expect to have fun.

    I expect the critics/public opinions to be opposing like last time. Everyone I talk to (which is a lot of people) likes ROTF, but critics didn't. (then again, they wouldn't be critics if they weren't critical)

    I'm not even going to bother seeing it. That's how low my expectations are.

    I say go into it with no expectations so maybe you can actually enjoy it. I hope there is robot interaction and characterization. And as long as there isn't a big battle in the middle and then a big nothing and then a anti-climactic rushed ending I'm good.

    I've picked a 2 for my expectations and a 3 for the critics/public.
    The reson for me: ROTF.
    Don't get me wrong, it was a entertaining movie... somewhat.
    But that's it. Nothing more.
    And for the end of this trilogy I'm waiting for a better entertainment with a little bit of workable story. It shouldn't be something like a Christopher Nolan film, but it should be a nice ending for the Bayverse.
    And maybe the film will achieve that ;)

    3/5 for me and 1/5 for the critics. I LOVED TF1 but ROTF was a major disappointment to me. That plus the fact that the studio doesn't seem too keen on showing much more than 2 TV spots for DOTM has me keeping my expectations down for now.

    my expectations are 5/5, critics and public 1/5. critics can go f*ck themselves with harry potter for all i care, ive always been a fan of the franchise and i will be a huge fan of this movie, cuz it looks to be the best! i believe in bay(unlike 90% of ppl in the world).thats the way it should be with the PUBLIC.everyone thought that rotf was the best movie ever til they heard what the critics said....then they started pointing out its flaws.what ever yall do...DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE DAMN CRITICS ON DOTM!!!!

    I voted '2 out of 5' Since the first two movies were both pretty much disappointments; I can't imagine DOTM with be the one which makes the Bayformers look good. I'll give it a chance like the other two. You never know; Bay may have stumbled upon a good movie.

    my expectations are low. I don't really care to be honest, but I'll still go and see the movie.

    Not to derail the conversation; but was Sucker Punch good? I heard it was bad, but I still want to see it (Actually I was looking forward that more then I am for DOTM). LOL!

    Critics can blast it all they like- the sad truth is that it'll still do well because people like big, loud, dumb movies. I'll probably pay for another movie and theater hop, or pirate the damn thing or something.

    It was ok, IMAX definitely is the way to see it if your close to one, hot chicks with big ass guns and some good tunes is always entertaining even if the movie is all of the place but definitely worth watching,

    I think it will be a fun movie. I won't act like a bleeding vagina about it like some do here.
