Does Transformers 2 Have Any More Than Meets The Eye

This article is also featured on my blog: the nuzzo news.

This isn't an official movie review, cause I haven't actually seen the film in it's entirety as of yet. But, I do in fact work at a movie theater. I'm employed at the Starplex Cinemas in Normal, IL (if you were interested in knowing). So with my part-time job, I have some knowledgeable intel on the matter. 

It seems like most people either like the film, find it mediocre, or for the few that loved it: liked it more than the first. I fall some where in between. From the three 30-minute segments that I've seen on my breaks; I wasn't too much more impressed than the first Transformers movie. I could tell that their budget was a little bigger, so a few things were tweaked to make it more enjoyable. For example, in the first film, the camera footage was way too shaky during the action scenes and they fixed that. It also seemed like they upped the anti in the CGI department. And, I will admit, there was some more hot Megan Fox scenes. But, it seemed like they tried way too hard to do that for the audience, and it most definitely worked. 

But, even with those two improvements and more, it just didn't do it for me.

The cons of Transformers 2 just barely out weigh the pros of the first one. One thing that I noticed was, one of the antagonist Transformers' (also known as decepticons) Starscream's voice wasn't the same. I don't know, it just didn't sound the same. Meh, besides that puny pet peeve of mine, the acting was nothing more than "B-Budget." Every time someone engaged in a conversation, I nearly clenched my teeth. And, please, please, if there's a Transformers 3, avoid any and all romantic scenes. Okay, fine, with this Hollywood market there must be at least one. But, just one. Maybe two could slide. But, from what I saw so far in this new Transformers, there was way too much kissy-kissy, and not enough Transformy-formy (sorry, that was bad). And, I'm not even going to begin talking about the plot of the film. "What plot? What story?," you say - exactly my point.

Here's what the professional critics thought, from TrailerAddict.comTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen Reviews. 

Overall, my unofficial the nuzzo news' movie rating is 3/5 stars.

As a movie it deserves a 2/5 Stars.

But since those pesky transforming alien robots are so awesome/cool, I give it an extra star for shits (no giggles).

So, what do you think of the film?
