Rate Transformers

[Hand of Evil]

Given the box office receipts so far, there will be sequels. A second movie has alredy been greenlighted. According to Wikipedia, Shia, Megan, and Peter Cullen are already signed for the second movie.

Numbers so far:
Domestic: $36,251,000 (50.0%) + Foreign: $36,253,961 (50.0%) = Worldwide: $72,504,961
Budget is listed at 150, it will be interesting to see how it does, domestic, after a full weekend, it will be going up against Harry starting Wednesday, 07/11. You then enter a period of bland movies until The Simpsons Movie 7/27 and The Bourne Ultimatum on 08/03.

8/10

Pros:
Solid action. Solid funny. Above-average writing & acting. Bumblebee the DJ. 2/3's of the callbacks to the toon.

Cons:
Slapstick was a little over-the-top in a couple scenes. Last 1/3 of the callbacks were forced.

Personally, I find numeric ratings to be kind of worthless. For me, it's a question of what will I (or will I not) spend my money on. Is it a wait for cable thing? Wait for pay channel? DVD? Dollar show? Matinee? Full price?

Transformers is "I'd pay full price to see it again". Best movie I've seen all year. Might be the best since the LotR series.

To this I say:

WOOHOO!

Six months ago, I would never have thought a Transformers live-action movie could get such high marks. I gave it a 10.

Well, I'd imagine with one unopposed weekend the total (domestic and foreign) will hit the 100k mark. It could hang out long enough after Potter 5 comes out to hit 150K combined in the theaters... but more than likely the DVD sales will be impressive enough to more than make their money back.

Not any kind of expert, just making an educated guess.

Oh, it will reach 150, daily take is still possitive and word of mouth is helping, it has just about double and this weekend I think it will have another 35+ million.

Take at this time:
Domestic: $65,725,939 (64.4%) + Foreign: $36,253,961 (35.6%) = Worldwide: $101,979,900

Gave it a 9, definately the best movie to come out this summer so far.

Hah and I read an article a couple of weeks ago about how the budget of US$150 million was considered 'cheap'...

Loved it, gave it a 10.

There were lots of little bits in the movie, like what was written on the side of Blockade.

I also like how it seems that Starscream gets his shot in at Megatron at the end (it appeared to me that he was in the final flight that bombarded Megatron).
