I agree that Transformer was better than I expected. I went to watch the movie with very low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't an, what you call, an awesome movie but it's not bad. The human characters are likeable and the Transformers themselves look awesome.

However, I would like to hear why you guys name some of the movies as 'highly anticipated but turns out to be a disappointment'. What was your expectations before you guys go into the cinema to watch the movie? For example, if you go to the cinema to watch Lust, Caution expecting the same acting from Tony Leung, then it's fine. If you expect lotsa sex scenes or etc etc but get none of it when watching the movie, do you consider it a 'disappointment'?

I've read some of the posts in The Warlords and some of them were ranting that the movie's too boring - not much war scenes, too much dialogues, no pretty girls, etc etc. Perhaps most non-chinese educated viewers were misled by the title, The Warlords - expecting war, war and war only. The title translate to the oath of brotherhood, so basically, this movie centres on the bond between 3 men who made a blood oath. I believe most of the people read the reviews before going to watch the movie and yet they complain there's no this and that after watching it.

You go to a zombie movie, you expect zombies, lotsa gore and mediocre acting (well, most of the time). Don't come out complaining that 'there's only gores and zombies, disappointed coz no storyline/bad acting'.

You go to a war movie like say, Saving Private Ryan, expect war scenes and lots of dialogue. Don't complain the storyline with "what a stupid movie, so many people to save one soldier" etc etc crap.
