I knew it would. And geeks hated it, but I have to remember, we are smarter than the average bear. So mainstream will fall all over it.
But please DON'T SEE IT!
I promise you, it's for your own good.
DON'T!

The movie was the "talk" of the comic store today. Only one person said the move was 'okay', but everyone else said it sucked--something about twin robots and gold teeth. I am seeing to tomorrow.
Back in the 80s me and my little brother were always at odds. He was all about Transformers and I was all about Lego.
For that reason alone, I abstain from Transformers.
I was going to go see it because I heard it had a gay robot subplot, but since you warned me, I'll pass now.
Alright, me and my best friend (two uber geeks)are going to see it...
I'm going with low expectations. That way I'll love it on general principle. lol.
Did you read Roger Ebert's review? Sounds as if most reviewers agree with you both. Here's part of it.
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination…
The battle scenes are bewildering. A Bot makes no visual sense anyway, but two or three tangled up together create an incomprehensible confusion. I find it amusing that creatures that can unfold out of a Camaro and stand four stories high do most of their fighting with…fists. Like I say, dumber than a box of staples.
Transformers to was a giant metal turd full of racism, poor directing, and bad acting.
You are all wrong. IT ROCKED!!!1 The point of it wasn't for a plot but to see giant transforming robots fight other giant transforming robots.
Transformers 2 has to be the biggest load of crap i have scene in awhile. I found the crude humor to be really un-neeeded. Why would you need to show a scene of dogs humping? or have someone eat a batch of hash brownies in an action movie? Utter crap. There are so many things that are also wrong with this. The animation has to be the worst thing ive ever seen. In some fight scenes I couldnt tell what was going on it looked like a blur of metal and shit doing front flips. Also the scene where the fallen sent out a broadcast to earth looked like something out of a nintendo 64 video game. Its obvious that Michael Bay doesnt know geography, because the final fight scene was near the great pyrimids and the syphx even though the plot indicated they were in the country of Jordan. The twin robots had to be one of the most racist and stereotypical thing ive ever seen. It wasnt just how the acted it was how they looked too. If you looked closely he had a gold buck tooth. Also what happened to the twins? They were fighting the giant robot and then magically disappeared when he started to clime up the pyrimid. What a shitload of crap. OOOH, and what the hell was the point of his retarded roommate. He had to be the worst character choice ive ever scene, great job Michael Bay, way to make a movie with a shitty plot, even shitier animation, and a movie that was down right dissapointing.
