Quite Possibly Better Than The First

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2009)

For starters, I never even WANTED to see the first Transformers movie. I'd heard about Transformers- who hasn't?- and well, it just didn't quite appeal to me.
My friend FINALLY bugged me enough that I bought the DVD and watched it last January. And well- it rocked. I've seen it maybe three or four times- short attention span means that I can barely sit through it- and I loved it.
So when Transformers 2 commercials started popping up, I was sold. I knew that the day it came out, I'd have to see it.
Last Friday I saw it the first time. I just saw it again today. And my god, does it ever rock.
The Fallen, the Matrix, Jetfire, Mudflap and Skids, a Decepticon in the National Air and Space Museum, ancient symbols- BETTER THAN THE FIRST!!!! Sure, my favorite Decepticons (Barricade, Mustang Police Car and Frenzy, funny little robot guy) didn't make an appearance, but the fact that the movie rocked more than made up for it.
It had it's slow moments, I must admit- but how many times during a movie can you honestly say there are no slow moments? Never, I think.
Reviews for this movie have seemed bad, saying it's crass (like Crank 2, which was like a cheap porno) and it sucks. But, obviously, these people were in the wrong theater. Not often can someone with my ten second attention span sit for two hours and thirty minutes without dying of boredom.
People who go see this movie- know that it's quite possibly better than the first by far.
