See, I loved the first 20 minutes because of the way all the dovetailing flashbacks set up the central characters and conflicts right in the middle of the current action (a big race). I thought it was a really radical way to tell the story, and that all the individual reveals were brilliant. But I've found out that the whole Thunderhead sequence will either leave you cold or suck you in completely. I guess I was sucked in completely.

As for the new Transformers, I think it's a wait-for-cable option for me, but I'm not going to avoid it deliberately because of Rotten Tomatoes or anything.
