Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I went to "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" last night. I went in fully expecting $12 worth of pretty explosions and otherwise completely sucktastic. I had seen the first movie and it was completely and utterly deplorable--but it was ok, because they made up for it by making it so loud that your brain turned to jelly, so you didn't notice the black-hole level of suck.
I was actually very, very surprised--pleasantly so.
Sure, there were some bits that made utterly no sense. But, ignoring those, the movie was far more consistent than its predecessor and immensely more so than I had expected. As to the acting...well, obviously the robots were completely one-dimensional and, in at least a couple were nastily racist. Both Shia LaBoeuf and Megan Fox did a decent job. Most of all what it was was funny--sometimes even intentionally. I was laughing almost all the time.
I think I would even see it again.
