Transformers 2 - Over 200mil opening weekend in USA

Wow....

I like the movie, but it was pretty heartily panned critically. That didn't stop the american audience, apparently.

No surprise. Blockbusters like these are critic-immune anyway...

The Power of Michael Bay shall not be stopped!
Really, is it any wonder why this movie is making so much money? It's as simple as you can get.

Really hot chicks? Check!
Some male eye candy for the chicks that doesn't upset the guys? Check!
Robots. Check!
Giant Robots, Check!
Explosions, lots and lots of explosions! Check!
Megan Fox wearing as little as possible, Check!

This movie has unassailable appeal. The guy is a genius. This movie is exploding with so much testosterone that even the robots had balls. Processing the CGI quite literally caused ILM to burn out some computer equipment.
