Check the budget and earnings of this colossal turkey. The numbers speak for themselves. Half that budget must have gone to the first reviewers -- all paid shills. And how in God's name did they ever get stars of this caliber to actually sign the bottom line? What a terrible waste of perfectly good film stock... unless they shot it digitally. In that case, what a terrible waster of TIME. Now, dear friends, compare my review with the first, glowing reviews. This proves three things. Number one, money trumps truth. Number two, everyone is a professional critic. And number three, people today don't know the difference between The Transformers and Stanley Kubrick's 2001. And therein REALLY lies the rub.
