Plot was so simple: the sun may explode, Optimus may die, but the lip gloss of Megan Fox should be saved!

I left the moviehouse @ 1 in the am, just to find myself wishing I should have slept instead. It’s an action-packed movie with a flitting plot; T2 cannot settle into a more concrete story. Save for the comedy and the CGI and sfx, the stature of Transformers was murdered!

I can’t believe Bay created a Yoda-like green robot (one of the twins: dunno if he’s Skids or Mudflap), a pervert Gollum-like robot, a ‘Matrix’ of Leadership and a Da Vinci Code adventure. Whatever he’s trying to do, borrowing icons.

Also, I thought the budget is big enough to buy condominiums for the robots. But they’ve used the same dessert set! It’s like watching a movie with alternative scenes.

And yes, the robots are indistinguishable. As if we could see their insignias without superhuman eyes. But my friend told me she could tell the Autobots apart from the Decepticons. Blue eyes and Red eyes.

The irritation doesnâ€™t end there. When the Fallen guy died, Megatron is still alive. Isnâ€™t he the forever archenemy of Prime? The reason for the first movie and his resurrection created the second installment. I know, the movieâ€™s too lengthy to include their match. Save it for the third. Geez!

The arc shots made my head spin. I don’t know what’s with the arc shots but Bay used a lot of it in the movie. The middle part was way too dragging, my friend slept through it…

i guess i must be a 14yr old boy then. u raise some very valid points, but i thought mostly the same for drag me to hell and wolverine and yet that didn’t stop me from deeming them wildly entertaining. not every movie needs to be intellectually stimulating, and i think this movie achieves that… well, okay, maybe it did go a little overboard. because there were so many explosioins and cgi stuff, u really can’t stop to appreciate any of them anymore, which was a shame. nevertheless, i still don’t think it’s as bad as u make it out to be, it just didn’t live up to all the hype.

What did you think about the two new Autobots – Skids & Mudflap? They sound like jive-talkin’ African-American characters aimed at snaring the hip-hop audience!!! Will Smith-style jug ears and a gold tooth? Kulang na lang, mag-bling bling pa!!!

When I saw Wheelie sneak up at Mikaela (Megan Fox), it made me wanna scream “Wall-E!!!”

If my bro is allowed to comment, this is his comment:

Loved the football sequence and aircraft carriers, and also “Hello” of Lionel Richie. Hello.

Faith no more’s Easy is also a hit for me… Didn’t see the first one, don’t have plans to see the second—and what, tarnish my memories of the Autobots and Decepticons? NO WAY :D

You can never underestimate the power of Megan Fox’s come hither poses to attract blockbuster numbers (a.k.a. hot-blooded straight males).

I just hope they’ll never think of her if this Wonder Woman adaptation ever comes to pass.

The trailer reminded me of a scene in the movie Matilda where the boy was forced to wolf down an entire chocolate cake.

I’ve noticed that when a movie has a surfeit of special effects, it usually leaves no room for anything else. Your review just confirmed my theory. Thank you for saving me P120.
