Sellouts continue as Transformers 2 release nears
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has moved to No. 20 on MovieTickets.com‘s list of Top 25 pre-sellers of all time, passing “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” among others.
MovieTickets.com reports more than 1,000 sellouts as of 6 p.m. Eastern, including 600 midnight screenings. The movie currently accounts for 93 percent of tickets sold at MovieTickets.com.
On the other hand, a few reviews have started coming in, including from Roger Ebert, who, to put it mildly, didn’t like the movie. The film is tracking at 28 percent at Rotten Tomatoes. Most print reviews are embargoed until tomorrow, so that will affect the number. The question is, in what direction? Check out NewsOK.com and The Oklahoman tomorrow for our own review of the film.

Its a good thing movie goers dont pay any attention to critics most of the people leaving the theaters thought the movie was one of the best acion movies they have ever seen. I when its said and done this movie will be in the top 20 grossing movies of all time. Critics have an easy job but have no taste when it comes to action movies.
ya right .. i bet it was an over the top movie, way too much robot fighting, no direction in the movie … lots of running and more running … and bullshit
ill be watching it tonight and then confirm my suspicion
i do admit that a lot of the time critics do not get it right, but seriously, almost all of them are saying the same thing on this one.. and i would already suspect they were right before even hearing about it ..
well see
btw… i really dont give a shit how hot the girl is in the movie …
you can google a million hot girls in 10 seconds
big woop .. a girl .. they are everywhere. get over it.
