The original movie was very politically incorrect, and this movie is probably also.

It is indeed. Saw it last night in "real" IMAX (Udvar-Hazy IMAX theatre). Everyone got a kick out of how part of the movie takes place right there.

Once again, the military are depicted as courageous, dedicated men and women who give 110%. Obama's administration are arrogant and stupid, and are only good for getting in the way. The best part of the movie, we all agreed, is when Major Lennox lets the idiot Obama appointee get blown out of the C17 (his parachute already opened).

Saw it today with wife and kid. Everybody liked it!

Besides the points you mentioned, I think some people might night have liked the two ghetto-talking Transformers with the gold teeth.

I saw it at a midnight showing early Wednesday morning and loved it.

The only problem was that by the time we got into the theater, the only place where we could find seats was in the second row. When I was watching something on one side of the screen, I was missing something on the other side. After the movie was over, I was talking with one of my friends and we both mentioned something that the other person missed. It wasn't until we said what part of the movie it was in (the fight in the library) that we realized that it was the same scene, just different sides of the screen.

We are going to go see it again this next week, this time at an IMAX theater up in Louisville.

Despite a bunch of scathingly bad reviews in Leftist papers, the movie seems poised to have an extremely good opening weekend. Then again, these days if a Leftist reviewer totally hates a movie, calling it racist, violent, and politically incorrect, I'm more likely to see it.
