Transformers 2 is a good movie but not a good film. If you like explosions, one liners, and a bunch of crazed robots causing the explosions, this is the film for you. If you like story, character development, and good acting, like me, then you won’t like it. I’ll start with the story. I’m not going to lie, it sucks. It’s the same save the world story that’s been done a dozen times over with no new twists or surprises. It is also so fast paced that you never have any time to think about the already forgettable dialogue. Which isn’t terrible but mostly, like I said earlier, full of stupid jokes and one liners. Megan Fox aside, (Who’s acting isn’t going to get her an Oscar anytime soon either,) the acting is outright laughable. The only decent performance in this movie is by Sam Witwickey’s mom, (Shia Lebeouf), who is actually very funny and the only reason to keep me anticipated. I also must admit that Michael Bay has outdone himself this time with special effects and explosions. And when I mean outdone, I mean that there are so many explosions you just get used to them by the end and they actually get boring. Maybe I should say overdone. Oh, I can’t forget the robots themselves. There are so many robots that I was confused by the end of the movie as to who was who. And the movie was three hours long, so they could have provided a little more of a development of the characters rather than have then blow up every five minutes. The ending, don’t get me started on the ending! That was the worst ending of a movie ever, and Wolverine’s ending was pretty bad.
The Verdict
If you’re willing to spend your Saturday night squeezing the last few ounces of stupid juice out of your brain to enjoy this movie then great! Really, you should see this movie, but only do it at 11:00 on a Saturday night. That’s what I did, and I had a blast.
I give this movie 2.5 giant explosions, out of 5. 2.5/5.
