Code Quietly

I hope I’m not the only person willing to say, “I liked the Transformers 2 movie!”

This Yahoo! article summed up why not to like the movie, but why did I?

I didn’t go into the theater expecting a revelation or to find answers to life long questions. I wanted to be “wowed.” I wanted to see transforming robots, explosions, and Megan Fox for two and a half hours. And I did just that. It’s so much easier to not like something, but even after reading these negative reviews and plot hole breakdowns I’d still see the movie a second time. It was an all-around fun movie!

I will agree with any fan that says, “The movie didn’t follow the original story! They changed everything!” And that’s okay. When I’m in the mood for the original story I’ll dust off the cartoon and watch it. If I’d rather see a lot of special effects, bad ass robots doing bad ass things, and Megan Fox, I’ll put on Transformers 1 and 2.

I neglected to say anything about Shia LaBeouf’s character Sam or his parents. I really thought they were exceptional. Their job was to act like a family and they had me convinced. The dad has his great lines, “Smells like 40 thousand dollars a year.” The mom eating the pot brownies. Sam just feeling, “Get them away from me…”

Now why Sam would want to part with Bumblebee… I don’t know, but itis just part of the story. I don’t think I would ever want to part with a transforming, super powered, robot, killing machine, that’s also a hot car. But I still liked the movie.

Everyone can and will have their own opinion. This is just mine.
