We'd seen the trailers a number of times and thought it would be fun. Even my daughter wanted to see it. Well, I'm sorry to say, it was terrible. It has all the suspense and acting you might find in your typical first-person shooter computer game. Of course you don't go to a movie like this expecting to be wowed by the suburb acting or the finely wrought plot details but really, you hope for more than cliches delivered as woodenly as possible. And the CGI wasn't really that good, either.In two weeks this movie has made just shy of $100,000,000, but the second weekend gross was down by 60% from the first weekend. It will probably make enough money to consider a sequel. And believe me, the seeds (more like saplings) of a sequel were sown.

you see, i loved it - i thought it did everything right that transformers screwed up - no stupid pop culture references, good pace, not trying to be sexy or hip - just some cool tech and ninja fights
It's made $100,000,000 so clearly a lot of people liked it. Based on what we saw in the trailers I thought I'd like it too. But I was disappointed. So was my daughter. My wife, however, did like it.
I only wanted to see it because it looked terrible, but it was terrible beyond my terrible expectations and ended up just being terrible in a terrible way rather than in a terribly amusing way.
