According to Variety, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen pulled in $16 million in midnight screenings, making it the best-ever Wednesday a.m. opening, and second-best midnight ever behind Dark Knight’s $18.5 million.  It passed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’s $12 million from 2007.

However, the bright light of day hasn’t helped the critical response any, as the film sits now at 21 percent positive on Rotten Tomatoes.   Will Transformers 2 continue to break records? Or will word-of-mouth stall the film’s momentum?  We’ll see in the coming days.

I am a big fan of comic books. I have an entire collection, and I’m thinking of starting my own comic book. It’s a great way to express yourself.

I thought the movie was real good. Probably not as good as the first one, but it was up there. I can’t wait to see it again.
