Transformers 2: Sizzling Hot Sequel

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen opened today to an astonishing 16 million in midnight previews and is expected to dominate the charts this weekend in spite of less-than-kind reviews.

And why not? It's fun to watch, fast paced and totally escapist - something we can all enjoy. Who cares if it "doesn't carry the zeitgeist" of last year's blockbuster The Dark Knight. Sometimes I think studio executives just like to hear themselves talk.
