Movie Review - Transformers 2 -ROTF
Tim Falletti
I’m going to be honest. I am not sure how to review this movie. It’s difficult because I am not quite sure I saw an actually movie last night. I am pretty sure I just saw a bunch of nonsense on the screen that didn’t make any sort of sense. I am going to try my hardest to get through this review but honestly, I just want to forget I even saw whatever garbage I saw last night on a big movie screen.
Here are the facts: Fact 1 -The first Transformers was decent. It was an action movie with big robots fighting each other. It was mindless, it was fun at times, and it didn’t make me want to punch puppies. Fact 2 - Megan Fox is gorgeous.
Having said that, Transformers 2 has these facts: It takes everything that was fun and decent from Transformers 1 and makes a mockery of it. It amps it up a thousand million trillion times and makes it completely unwatchable. Fact 2 - Megan Fox is still pretty gorgeous.
Let me try to explain this “plot”. Shia La-beef is still Sam. He still talks the same way and acts the same way he does in every other movie he has been in. He finds a sliver of the cube thing from the first movie and starts seeing visions. The bad robots want to know exactly what is going on in those visions, and the good robots don’t want them to find out. Explosions ensue. A lot of them.
That’s the plot. I think. I can’t remember because I was in shock watching some of the really horrible cliches in this movie. The slow mo walks, the horrible dialogue, the “Michael Bay” stock shots. All of them are in here in abundance. The thing that really gets me though…ugh. The thing that really gets me is the blatent and offensive stereotypes that Michael Bay has reduced the robots to. It’s so bad, I don’t really want to explain it in this review. I don’t think it deserves any kind of explaination besides “Don’t see this movie”.
So in other words, I really really recommend you don’t waste your hard earned money on this movie. If you want to rent it on DVD fine. But it’s a complete and total waste of time. It’s not fun. It’s painful. But hey, it has Megan Fox.
