Default We watched: Transformers 2

It was okay... it's recommendable.

The battle scenes were rich with color/motion and it was hard to see what was going on... Might have been my partical color blindness. They were still awesome.

I had a few issues with some of the things about the movie... but it was enjoyable to watch... and long enough feel like you got your money worth.

It was kind of cool. The fight scenes were a bit too visually hyperactive for me; it was diffictult to tell what was going on. By comparison, in the XMen movies, the fight scenes are cool. You can clearly see mutants trashing the place. But in this movie it looked like a whirlwind of paperclips slamming together. The story was pretty interesting. One thing that was really awesome in this movie was the interpretation of Devastator - kind of scary.

Good... I am not the only one that thought the fights were chaotic. I still liked them... Just felt I missed alot.

Have you noticed that in the cartoon and the movies, Optimus Prime always got his butt kicked?

I like both movies. I actually thought it would be a bit kiddie for me going in, but a friend who is about 20 talked me in to going. I was pleasantly surprised.

I own both of the movies now.

Prime never lost to Megatron in a straight up fight. Tinhead had to cheat to win.
