I loved the 3rd Ice Age. It was more reminiscent of the first one.. more clever and much less manic than the weak and childish "Meltdown".

But I have no doubt Transformers will rule the weekend in the end.

the fact of the matter is that both transformers 2 and ice age 3 suck. Both movies are moneymakers, but both just plain stink. Sorry, I wanted them to be good.

Agree with steve. Both are Hollywood crap of it's worst.

I hope TF2 DOES beat "Dawn of the Dinosaurs". The first Ice Age was great, the second was okay, but the THIRD?? Not feeling it.

Public Enemies was truly great and surprisingly affecting. Best film of the year so far, by a wide margin.

Public Enimies was a mess. Bad editing, horibble sound mixing. Johnny Depp was good but the rest of the acting was mediocre at best. Not to mention it was just plain boring.
