So, Rook, Mrs. Rook, J, couple other people and I went to see Transformers 2 this last Friday. The following is my honest opinion of the movie.
As we were walking out, Rook's Brother in Law and I were talking and I said, "Dumb is the only word that comes to mind to describe it." He agreed. Why?
SPOILERS THERE MAY BE!
- The Twins - What. The. F***. Completely pointless characters who constantly fight with one another, call each other names, and generally served absolutely no purpose in the movie other than "comedic relief" even though they weren't funny in the least.
- Forced, horribly written drama with the "I love you" bit. Retarded. Who cares if they've been dating for the last 2 years and haven't said "I love you." I don't care. Waste of dialogue and "acting"...if you can call it that.
- Anticlimactic "serious" moments - Things happen in the movie that, if you're into Transformers, you KNOW is going to happen...but what affect does it have on the main character? NOTHING. He's sad. Wow...cry me a freakin river.
- Robots - So they introduced a bunch of new characters in the movie. Great...you killed off half of them in the last movie and you need to bring more in...I get it. What about the people who don't know who Arcee is (and now she's 3 bikes?)? And she BARELY played a part in the movie...why bring in characters only to have them do absolutely nothing. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
- Weak central villain - Megatron and Starscream...come on. SS is supposed to be a badass as is Megatron...they weren't in this movie. And The Fallen...weaksauce! You can't tell me that nobody else could have REALLY taken him on and lost.
- Megan Fox - Slow motion running in a t-shirt. Ballooned lips. Poor acting (well, this would be "Poor acting Part 2"). Why is she even in this movie?!
- Swearing - The first movie had absolutely no swearing that I can remember. This one...the twins are constantly spouting off. Other characters swore off and on the whole movie. Why?! It doesn't need to be there!
This was just a complete waste of money and time. Then again, maybe as I'm about to turn 33, I'm now exiting the target demographic?
