Listen. I understand there are a lot of shitty shit movies that spring out of the pot every year. But it is the summer. This is blockbuster season. The reason they come out now, is because distribution knows that they aren't going to get Oscars. They also know that young teens are going to be out of school, and ready for enormity.
Surprise, surprise. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen isn't the best movie ever. It's also Michael Bay. So yeah... explosions, and some stereotypes. I'm sorry, but when did people start seeing Transformers for political commentary? I was very aware I was about to go watch some robots blow some shit up. That's why I referred to them as "explodebots" before the movie started. I wasn't expecting Shia Labeouf to give me an award winning performance, I wasn't expecting Megan Fox to depict chastity, and I wasn't expecting Bay to create some sort of meaningful homage to the embittered world we live in. I wanted a god damn summer blockbuster, and that's what I fucking got.
So, if I hear one more wah wah political rant about Michael Bay, I will fucking choke someone. I swear. And chances are, it will be the hipster to my left. I almost want to see it again to spite them. But I can't afford. it.
I give T-Formers an A, for being exactly what I wanted it to be. Kick Ass.
