So last night I finally saw Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. It was epic. Granted, the acting sorta sucked (Megan Fox really can't act), but it was still entertaining. I think my favorite parts of the film are the conversations between Shia LaBeouf with his parents, played by Kevin Dunn and Julie White (I mean besides every scene Optimus Prime is in).
I kind of wish we had a Jon Voigt appearance, but John Turturro was sufficient enough.
I don't know how I feel about the Transformers having legit personalities (the Twins anyone?)
And sorry to bust your bubble, but Peter Cullen, the long-time voice of Optimus also voices a very well known cartoon character: Eeyore. Yea, the donkey.
If you want to see a ton of shit blown up, and watch the sheer manpower of the U.S. Military and how extreme Badass Optimus Prime is, go see Fallen. If you don't, well sit at home and be pathetic.

There's a plot buried somewhere in Transformers... But I was too nerd-struck by the special effects and battle sequences to even care.
ReplyDeleteAnd leave it to American cinema to have even more ghetto-rific robots. Just like the Autobot "Jazz" in the first movie, Michael Bay takes another stab at an all too familiar stereotype. Although the initial reaction from the audience towards these antics sounded positive, I don't know whether they were laughing at the "jokes" or the complete and utter rididculousness of it all... But once again, nothing could distract me from drooling over the action scenes (especially one in perticular involving the ghetto-bots kicking the shit out of the GIANT Decepticon).
PS: Post a Public Enemies review! It looks fantastic, can't wait to hear what you thought.
