But with this one, I hear consistently bad things from the fans of the first one, and fans of the series.

Torn if I should save my money and wait for DVD.

Matinee pricing after it's been out for a while- hell, do you have theatres that show movies for $1.....go to those. LOL

Interesting, I thought the reviews seem to match what the trailers show exactly.

Bay had nothing to do with Pirates. THANK GOD.

D'oh! Right - Jerry Bruckheimer produced pirates - I'm afraid he and Bay are all but synonymous in my muddled head sometimes.

I watched T2RotF yesterday at the Universal City Walk. Firstly -- This was the second movie I saw at UCW in two years and both times there was no air conditioning!! (The first time I demanded and got my money back but this time my friend insisted we stay, so ...) About a quarter of the way through the air came on, so it was not broken so much as it was apparently just kept off to save some money. Thanks Universal. The inside of the cinema resembled the cliche of the Southern courtroom, everybody sitting silently fanning themselves. The mother next to me covered her children's head in wet towels. It made me wonder ... am I the only who complains about these things?

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. T2 was big, loud, dumb, supersized and charged up. Every single dollar spent was on the screen and I was pretty blown away. Yeh, the plot was ridiculous, the acting was silly, the jokes sophmoric, but for twelve bucks, it was a hell of a ride.

Tref sez, check it out (but only on the big screen)
