A lovely quote from Roger Ebert...

[mrph]

"The day will come when Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be studied in film classes and shown at cult film festivals. It will be seen, in retrospect, as marking the end of an era. Of course there will be many more CGI-based action epics, but never again one this bloated, excessive, incomprehensible, long (149 minutes) or expensive (more than $200 million)."

Having people think what they are investing in is potentialy a good idea. Too much money and too little thought is often put into the process.

Alas it will probably affect lower budget stuff too though, which is a shame.

I've yet to see it, but i quite often enjoy the mindless action flicks even if i don't rate them that highly. Alien Vs Predator was actualy quite enjoyable if utter dross....yet to see the second one mind.

To be honest i never rated the 1st transformers movie, but kids and marketing go well together for leavering open parents wallets, hence the sequel.
