Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen began showing in movie theaters on June 24, 2009. Fans were excited about the sequel, but critics were not pleased with what they saw. The movie didn't quite meet their standards. They made their own predictions, which pretty much called it a flop.
Transformers 2 has currently grossed over $200 million...not a complete flop!
Are movie critics always right about films? Does it really matter if they say thumbs up or thumbs down? Some believe that hearing other views on a subject help them to make a decision on whether or not to do or see something. It's just common curiosity. Critics are like weather people, no matter how many times they are wrong, they are still needed. Their opinions are valid and should be heard.
Most of the people that have seen Transformers 2 are torn; they like the action, but not the storyline. There are different things in the film that raise questions and cause some confusion. Certain scenes were almost sad, which is strange, but also nice, for this kind of movie. Obviously, people are willing to pay to see it, even if they hear that it wasn't that good. Maybe it's Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf, or the bots, but this movie is doing very well for the criticism that it has received. Transformers 2 has only been out for six days, who knows how much more it will make? Only time will tell.
