I have a feeling that there was nothing Bay could have done to change certain people's minds because he made a way different movie and doesn't seem like he is getting the credit for it.

I actually posted the parts of Ebert's review just because I love it when Ebert just goes off on something.
It is a popcorn movie but what I like about Ebert is he usually reviews a movie based on what it is supposed to be. He doesn't trash a movie because it won't win any awards, he lays into a movie because he feels it's a horrible example of the genre. Popcorn movie it may be but it doesn't excuse crappy film making (for example he quite like Fast Five earlier this year).
To be honest, I hope if I do see it that it will be better than the first two because I actually haven't been able to get through the first two movies. And I'm not a movie snob...I'm more than happy to enjoy a popcorn flick if it can be enjoyed.
