Summer Blockbuster Hits the Mark

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2009)

I'm not quite sure why this movie is receiving such terrible reviews. The so-called critics (with whom I almost never agree), predictably blasted it. But usually, I get a good idea of the movie from the IMDb crowd. Even though it was getting bad reviews here, my 10 year old son was dead set on seeing, so off to the movies we went.
To my pleasant surprise, I found this movie every bit as entertaining as the first, maybe even better. The action was intense, the machinery was awe-inspiring, and Megan Fox is incredibly HOT! There was humor sprinkled in and John Torturro was a hoot.
I guess if I went to the theater looking for character development, unexpected plot twists, and the unveiling of the meaning of life, this movie would not deliver. But I'd be pretty stupid going to this movie expecting those things now wouldn't I? This movie hits a home run. It is everything it was supposed to be. And finally, we know what the pyramids were for and by who.
