Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has just
passed $600 million at the worldwide box office, despite mostly really
bad reviews. This is nothing new. Mainstream audiences don’t listen to
the critics, and big screen spectacle will almost always win over
quality entertainment. Nothing was going to stop me from seeing the
movie, not all the bad reviews in the world. It’s an event movie — and I
needed to see it for myself. It should be noted that box office should
never be looked at as an indication of the mainstream public’s thoughts
on a movie (it sold tons of tickets so the mainstream public must’ve
loved it) but only an indication of the hype (and in later weeks,
possibly word of mouth).
