This is the second installment of the fast paced, special effects intensive franchise that brings back my childhood. Marketed to children (why?), this visionary explosion is filled with adult humor and a sexy cast that brings one to question, it it "more than meets the eye?"
Shia LaBeouf (Eagle Eye, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) and Megan Fox (Jennifer's Body, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People) return, along with their amazing supporting cast (Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson & John Turturro) in this Michale Bay (Pearl harbor, The Island) directed sequel to 2007's box office bonanza, Transformers. Wouldn't you know tat the Autobots would once again need junior Witwicky by their side as they work to stop the evil Decepticonz from acquiring him and using his recently charged psyche to unlock the key to using Earth as their own personal power source. Lead by Optimus Prime, Sam and an a force of international armies battle the likes of a resurrected Megatron, as well as a long forgotten foe The Fallen, to save the Earth from utter destruction.
Too many people hated on this movie, and for a lot of good reasons. But letting one thing about a movie completely sway your contentment is childish and accomplishes nothing. Most Transformers nay-sayers will point to the story and all it's flaws. To that, I concede, but the basic plot is sound. My only personal objection to the movie on the whole was it's use of racial stereotypes regarding certain types of machines *cough* Mudflap and Skids *cough* All this did was contribute absurd dialogue that completely distracted you from what was really going on. But other than that, this movie was a success in my book. It was spectacularly over the top. Expect witty dialogue, awkward parental moments, and an eye-gasm of action... and let's not forget, Megan Fox is a babe.
