Transformers 2 Is A Terrible Travesty of a Movie

It really is.

I thought, maybe, just maybe the first one was too good and an average sequel would lend itself to the kind of horrible reviews its gotten. Nope.

This, honestly, is the best summation of just why and how terrible the movie was if you accidentally left the engine of your brain on during the two plus hour robot fest that was Transformers 2: Revenge of Michael Bay’s mid-life crisis.

What is the status of the Transformers at the beginning of the film?
The Autobots have joined the military to hunt down the Decepticons. We’re told the Decepticons are “doing things,” but they appear to be hiding peacefully when the Autobots show up and brutally murder them.

What?
Yeah. The Decepticons aren’t apparently doing anything, then the Autobots show up, the Decepticons run for their goddamn lives, and the Autobots hunt them down and brutally murder them. It’s kind of weird.

*Warning if you haven’t seen the movie, click anyway and save yourself 10 bucks.
