Michael Bay and Transformers

Paul Byrnes says it better.
Lovin' the review!
and yet, so true.

"Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is the Earth boy who holds the secret that will tip the balance in their fight . . . and who dreams this stuff up? Why are the plots of these movies usually so similar and so dull? The formula is A versus B plus powerful talisman held by C, usually a human boy or girl of destiny. The rest is just chasing and fighting. This series also throws in comedy and booty, in the form of Megan Fox. Mikaela Banes (Fox) is Sam's girlfriend and she's a mega babe. In fact, she's so hot the director fashions the film around endless views of her assets, to the point that it's somewhere between funny and creepy. For our first view he drapes her in short shorts over a motorcycle, like she's posing for a biker calendar. Her pouty lips are brilliant red, her eyes a deep blue. There's a lot more cheesecake, including a series of shots in the final battle of her running towards the camera in slow motion, her breasts dancing inside her skimpy top in a way that excludes everything else in the shot.
...


I realise that these are small things but they illustrate what's wrong in a wider sense. A lot of people put a great deal of effort into this movie to create great effects and exciting action but the whole thing is led by a man who directs by numbers. Michael Bay thinks that movies are a sandbox and, to some extent, they are. The trick is to create something meaningful from the tools in the sandbox. The first film did that; the second is a sandy imitation."

The impression of Megan Fox when I was watching the movie was well quoted by a toddler not older than 4 yo.
The scene in Egypt where Megan and Shia snuggling on top of Egypt ancient pyramid(?) and she wore only her camisole. The kid next to me suddenly said "yah, gak pake baju lagi deh" (not wearing clothes again).

Just then I realized, for movie about Robots, Transformers 2 isn't made for kiddies at ALL. Especially, with full-on Megan Fox posing for Maxim on every scene.

Though not my usual cuppa tea, I have to admit, the movie was very entertaining. The blowing things up and Shia LaBeouf.
