Regarding “Transformers 2,” lets keep in mind that it is about giant robots from outer space blasting each other into tiny bits with ray guns. There is absolutely nothing uplifting, intellectual, or spiritual about it. It was not made to be any of those things. It was made to be FUN!, and it succeeds in that; I haven’t seen “Avatar,” but I suspect that FUN! was the point of that movie also. I’ve read a lot of film reviews, and have known and worked with a lot of movie buffs, and I’ve noticed that many of them can’t seem to comprehend that the average person wants to have some FUN! when they go into a theater, rather than be preached at by the leftist/rightist movie maker (or, for that matter, the leftist/rightist critic before they go in).
Yes, film critics can be pretty pedantic. Just ignore them, and enjoy yourself with an entertaining movie that you enjoy.
