Transformers 2 cost $210 million to make, earned $833 million worldwide

I'm sure the studios are thrilled with both profits, but I'm also sure Transformers 2 would've made a lot more money if the story was better. I also believe that the DVD/Blu-Ray sales would be a lot higher if the story was better.

Granted, more people know about Batman than Optimus Prime, but it was the story that made the extra $$ in the end. I'm a big fan of Batman and Transformers. However, I don't think I'm going to buy Transformers 2, but I bought The Dark Knight on the first day.

Even if they gave some great screenwriter $500,000 to touch up the story ... it might've given them tens of millions in return profit. I don't know why they don't try to do that.

Your 2nd mistake was buying it.]]>Oct 21st 2009 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 21st 2009 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=transformers2.htm

If anyone bothered to do their homework they would relize that Transformers 2 had the same screenwriters as Star Trek did earier this year in having ALEX KURTZMAN and ROBERTO ORCI at the helm. Star trek had wonderful reviews from everyone. But still, it only made $257 million for the year http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=startrek11.htm. Moral to the story. Do not listen to the reviews or the so called experts/critics. They are so out of touch with what the average joe wants to see today in films today that it is hilirious. Make your own judgements and don't get led around like sheep by the biased "expert critics" that hate everything. Why do that think they are called critics? Ever wonder?

As far as Walmart getting the Imax copies for transformers. Look. Guys, you will just have to do more homework and be more careful and be on the ball when looking for and buying products. Busineses like Wal-Mart, Target, BestBuy and Amazon all get involved with their own special product promotions on occasion. Its called "Product differentiation". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_differentiation That's just the way the retail business world works.

Cheers :)

That it made over 400 million doesn't mean it was good or that people liked it. It just means it was marketed well, had a built in audience, and a lot of people went to see it-- probably based on their experience with the first one. Godzilla (the 1998 remake), Men in Black II, Spiderman 3 all made 400 million or near that, and weren't that good either.

Anyway, what people like/dislike is subjective. In my opinion, Transformers 2 sucked and it's not a movie that I'd want to watch again and again.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/

But hey, go buy the Blu-ray anyway. Eye candy clearly overrides other considerations such as the actual quality of the movie for you.

I'm sick of the negativity on this website. It's really supposed to be electronics/technology website. And it seems like all I get is a bunch of Fanboy or Anti-Fanboy BS when it comes down to this site covering a movie of anykind.

Lighten up :)]]>Oct 22nd 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 22nd 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-blu-ray-review-roundup/
