Back with Transformers 1, a friend convinced me to go. I enjoyed the first half of the movie, when there was a pretty good 'alien invasion' story. I didn't really like the 2nd half, with all the mindless smashing.
Then I got dragged into it a second time, with some other friends.
That time I just laid back and enjoyed the show, which was ok.
I don't think I'm going to watch this in cinema.
