He can bash Bay all he wants, but the first Transformers film was great entertainment and from what I've heard from people who have actually SEEN the film (what with it being out in Japan and Europe), Revenge Of The Fallen IMPROVES on all the first film's strong points while removing many of that film's weaker points. To put it bluntly, it is the most kickass action sci-fi movie we'll be getting in YEARS. As for Rise Of Cobra, I do prefer this second trailer but I remain cautious. Kind of glad they could get some humor out of those Accelerator Suits, but I fear Ripcord will simply be a "dumb comic relief character" from what the trailer's shown.

But from the perspective of hoping the film does well commercially, unfortunately word of mouth (especially from an influential site like AICN) is critically important. So in my mind, just from hoping the film is successful and spawns more years of awesome toys, I'm glad that a pretty large site has at least made some sort of positive comments. I rarely agree with what Harry Knowles thinks myself, but if his comments influence just a few people, who in turn influence a few people, etc... I think that's worth talking about.
