Why am I alone on this island?
I have a secret. I have kept it to myself, but now I am ready to share it with the world.
I liked The Island.
There.
I said it.
I feel so liberated.
I have no idea why this movie is not doing well. I know, I know. Michael Bay. No one likes the guy. Then why have his movies grossed over $1 billion?
I thought The Island was a good movie, not a great movie, but a good one. I was entertained; mission complete. I liked the characters, the chases where cool, stuff blew up. Did it tug at my heartstrings? No. Did it make me think about my place in the universe? No. Was I entertained? Yes.
So, please, someone tell me why I shouldn’t like this movie.

I actually heard it was Bay's best movie to date. Granted, that may not be saying much, but it's sort of a compliment.
I wanna see it. Not sure if I'll get to it in the theatre or not, though. So many movies, so little money.
I saw it at the drive-in. It's a great drive-in movie!

Here is an interesting take on it, Bay is passing the buck

I have to admit I've never seen a Bay movie before. I'm not really one for all that action stuff , and from the little I've seen of his movies(trailers, clips) it looks like it's pretty much a pile of c**p. It takes a lot for me to watch anything with Ewan McGregor in, but if it's directed by Bay as well, forget it. Lets watch Family Guy instead.
