There's something about him that makes me think his list of top 10 movies does not include anything you have to think too hard about. Let's just say he's probably never seen Vanilla Sky or Little Miss Sunshine intentionally. I’d be worried if he didn’t.

Wasn't there a sequel? What would that be, like XXX2? XXXX? Just plain old X2? No, that's X-men 2. TripleX2? Wouldn't "TripleX2" be X2X2X2? Those are the pitfalls of naming your movie three identical consonants, I guess. Yeah Joel, it took me about a week to come down from the "high" of Transformers to be able to actually rate it as a film. That's gotta say something about a movie if it has that effect on you. And 4/10 Berating is not bad. I'm usually pretty harsh on movies, so anything below a 5 Berating is worth buying and re-watching, in my opinion.

I had the nostalgia effect going in as well, but not too strong. I also only saw one teaser trailer beforehand, and I wasn't all that hyped about seeing it. But then my brother called me and told me it was worth seeing in the theater. So I did. My mouth was hanging open for most of the movie, and my heart raced watching all the action sequences. I agree with your whole thing about ridiculous stunts and such, but having seen movies like TripleX with Vin Diesel ramping up onto a 50 foot tall guard tower with a motorbike and smacking a guard in the face with the front wheel, then riding vertically down the guard tower to go kill other people... I was able to see past it. From an animator/modeler's point of view, the sheer time that had to go into making a transformer "transform" just blew my mind. And the materials and atmospheric compositing were the best I've seen to this day. Anyway, your reviews are always great, and I enjoyed reading this one particularly. I just liked it for different reasons. :) I LOVED Transformers. I had the nostalgia effect going in as well, but not too strong.
