The special effects and visuals were great, I thought the first 45 minutes or so of the story was great as well, where he created something new we had never seen before, the rest of the thing, good, story told, before, and even if an old story could have been done a little better.
But definitely worth seeing at the theater, I guess if Transformers II was the top movie this year this is definitily a cut or two or three above that.
