Rubbish - postmodern style

Rating: 2/10 (5 November 2010)

There are only 2 major things to say about this 'movie'.
As in the first movie, stunning visual effects (only the SFX crew should had been paid, oh and there's also more than fine music; you'll even laugh-with-tears at how monumental the music becomes and how poorly the actors perform in those should-had-been-elevating moments).
And you also get to learn that Michael Bay & the writers are sexually obsessed.
The movie is about 2 hrs and a half long, and THERE ARE NO TEN CONSECUTIVE MINUTES in this movie without some sort of sexual innuendos or straight-on depictions (and some, the worst, were not even between humans, but between dogs, and alien mini-bot and human girl).
Especially when it's a movie hard to keep away from children, this shouldn't be ignored.
So let's, for once, not ignore it. Enlarging the scale you consider these things, you strangely find out that in most parts of the world (actually just about everywhere except North America and Western Europe and perhaps Australia & NZ) the word 'stalker', for example, doesn't even exist (any translator would have hard time trying to explain that word to a local). I suppose, only the stalkers (and the sexual serial killers) would be enough to show, somewhat consistently, that the American type of early-learning sexual education have failed. OK, they learn how to do it (guess what: the humans have multiplied themselves long before the American education), then they learn to do it safely, but they also become obsessed. Think, for example, of all the super- close shots of sexual organs in a porn movie. That's not erotic, that's sick. If you stick your eyes into your girlfriend's butt or sex, you are sick.
Bay & Co. had also some sick stuff in the first 'Transformers' movie, but the ones here are simply inadmissible. Again, don't forget that this is a movie children are interested in most.
Now, I lived 23 years under dictatorship, so I'm among the first ones to tell you that that's bad (putting it VERY mildly). But a good side (perhaps the only one) indeed was there: sick (and contagious) people like Michael Bay were never left at large.
So, enjoy your popcorn. Meanwhile, I had to explain my 12 years old kid why he can't see this movie (I first watch all movies he's interested in; have to do that, in this post-modern world - read: post-any-values world). And I can't explain. And he hates me. Now think about that: someone getting millions for bringing hatred between a son and his father, who only tries to raise him to be normal - if normal is anything this world can stand.
