Transformers

Source.

Eight reasons to like it:

It had giant talking robots that kick ass.
They didn't do the comic book movie thing where a hero/villian can will shot, blown up, and thrown through a concrete overpass and shake it off. But in the next scene he'll die from being thrown through a brick wall. (See: X-Men and Spiderman)
The action sequences were intense and myriad, but no single sequence is dragged out. (See: Pirates, Matrix)
The movie was just as long as it shoulda been. It's not short, but it's not full of unnecessary, longwinded scenes. (See: Pirates)
The teen awkwardness moments were more goofy than tired situation comedy. (See: Any movie that involves hot cheerleaders)
They spent a buttload of money on stuff that wasn't cgi. Putting too much money into a movie is like having too much beer at a party, is anyone going to say 'dude, your extra kegs are getting in the way'?
No shameless setup for a sequel.

The leader board

Here it is, the opinion of our third reviewer. Connie is the feminine voice of reason at movie night. Or is that voice of feminine reason? Whatever the case, here's what the girl thinks:
