New To Theatres This Weekend: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, My Sister’s Keeper, The Hurt Locker
Film Junk —
... There’s a little movie opening this weekend that you might have heard of called Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and based on some of the early box office numbers, it seems poised to break a few records regardless of the poor critical reception. Of course, if for some strange reason you’re not into giant robots, there are a few other alternatives hitting theatres this weekend. The only other wide release is the new Nick Cassavetes film My Sister’s Keeper starring Abigail Breslin and Cameron Diaz, but in select theatres we ...
Michael Bay is Loved by Everyone
Craig's MovieBlog —

FirstShowing.net —
... A year ago, everyone would've instantly said yes, without a doubt. But it's a whole different situation now. I can't actually take credit for that question - it comes from Peter Sciretta at SlashFilm. Here's how he looks at it: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has earned an incredible $200 million in only 5 days at the box office. Sure that means most people saw it, but most hated it, or at least a majority of them did. It holds a steady 20% at Rotten Tomatoes and 6.7 on IMDb. There's no doubt about it - Paramount will finish the trilogy ...

MetaCritic.org: 35%
TopTenREVIEWS.com: 1.7 out of 4
Even over at IMDB.com, where it’s mainly “regular people” voting for films, it’s only getting 6.7/10 - not bad, but not an ...
