TransfomerMania 2

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2009)

If the title of my summary doesn't make any sense, let me explain.
I begin with..I loved the Transformers when i was kid..The cartoons just blew me away..In the 80's era cartoons seem to change..They had story lines..There was a slick little story behind all the action..GI Joe also followed this format to a degree..(Although as i waited for the movie to begin with the crowd, the GI Joe trailer came on..I heard a couple of giggles in the packed house..I don't know about THAT Franchise as a movie!!..but back to this one) The first Transformers movie..was a bit of a shock to my system..I though to myself(before i saw it)How is going to be any good??Can they make it look real?? Well Well...They gave it to the right director. and Paramount did the rest..Everything was damn near perfect!!So success(IE. money!!) breeds sequels..
If my expectations were low going into tans 1..They were off the charts for Reveng of the Fallen..The trailers looked awesome..The main cast and Mr.Bay was returning..Everything was in place..Then the movie started,or should i say the action started..Now i am not the one to quibble about the plot doesn't make any sense or the acting is this and that in this type of movie.Its about fighting robots for crying out loud..and i did grade this flick at 7 stars..No spoilers here..as if you haven't already seen the movie..but i will just list a few observations..(1) For shear spectacle alone see this movie in the theatre!!(2)The "twins" that have caused the controversy.They didn't bother me that much..they were more annoying than anything..Jar Jar was much worse!!(3)Two movies in.. i still don't know anything about Tyrese,and Duhamels' characters..give me just a little more with them (4)I didn't know who was who at times..A little clarity at times would been helpful.(but)(5)I knew exactly what i was getting with a Bay sequel..If you have seen Bad Boys 2!!..With more money means more mayhem..SO give him a movie with 200 million dollar budget and prepare yourself!(6)Its almost TOO much movie..and i don't think i have ever said that in my life..(7)Shia,and Tuturro were good(8)Fox was OK..she is still a little green (9) Is it me or did Ramon Rodriguez(College roommate)have a bigger role in this flick than what was intended??? (10) Starscream..LOve that character!! To wrap this up..back to my title. I borrowed it from the WrestleMainia series. A couple of days later i was talking with the buddy i went to see it with and we wondered out aloud in Transformers 3 they should skip the plot altogether and just have AutoBots vs Decepticons in one big cage 2 HR cage match movie.. *And if they did that..I still be in the audience.. just like when i was watching Hogan vs Andre the Giant as a kid in the 80's..
