Transformers 2

Transformers 2

Before you misunderstand me, I’d like to categorically state that I enjoyed Transformers 2. Mainly because I had the right expectations. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, and plan on seeing it, here’s what NOT to expect:

  • A non-linear story
  • Something different to the first Transformers movie
  • Few explosions
  • Meaningful dialogue
  • Something to calm your nerves

What should you expect? A Michael Bay movie. That’s it. If you do that, you’ll enjoy it.

Of course they are planning a third movie already, but I believe that is a mistake. As we recently saw with Ice Age 3, it’s generally a good idea to quit while you’re ahead. Even if it’s just by an inch. The only glimmer of hope is that apparently Michael Bay will not be directing it. It’s not that I don’t like him , but it only has a chance of not sucking if they revolutionize the concept. We don’t want to see the same thing for a third time.

One last thing I’d like to mention is that Megan Fox‘s acting was very flat and disconnected. Shia LaBeouf delivered the same performance as in Transformers. To the letter. ;)

Oh, and if you have the chance to watch it on an IMAX screen, it’s definitely worth it.
