Reading deeper into the review spectrum adds to what I said above. The general consensus thus far is that it's visually awe-inspiring, but that's where it ends; the characters are cliched cookie cutters and the story is horizontal. The more well-known review websites, like IGN, are telling all of the negative elements, yet apparently seem to be so clouded as to seemingly ignore the negatives that they wrote about and basically say that the film is fantastic at 4.5/5 stars. I'm sorry, but a film that has a weak story and cliched characters that completely relies on its CGI does not appeal to me, nor shows the signs of a well-made film. I'm waiting on more reviews, but many are saying the same thing, and the more independent the review (the more intelligent), the less favour there is for this film. It sounds like James Cameron has created a Michael Bay film.

i suppose what ive been saying for the past month or so that scripts and characters arent everything is actually... true... as i said then, its not all about camera angles, you can like something just for the hell of it.

Yes, you can, but with the hype and stigma surrounding this film, it needs to be great, and clearly from the response thus far it isn't. Every film needs strong characters and a good story, and this is a film that just has to deliver, or people will surely be gutted.

From the reviews I've read so far it sounds great, can't wait till I see it not long now!

Its out tomorrow, or later today in some places. I'm gonna go see it with a couple of friends on friday. We haven't booked tickets so we're gonna go to the earliest showing hoping people are still in bed or at work/school. Can't wait!

Will it be warm or not nice or something?

Well, when I wrote for a newspaper and regularly went to press screenings in the morning, you could taste the daily pipe cleaner in the drink. Always.

Ew, is it not bad for you?

[Misawa]

No, it's cleaned out, but leaves a taste, like some washing up liquids. But it makes Coca-Cola on ice taste like bleach on ice.
