Just back from Transformers 2: Revenge of Something or Somesuch:
Duration: Interminable.
Plot: Incomprehensible.
Dialogue: Indecipherable.
Character arc: Imperceptible.
Lame one-liners: Indefensible.
Capacity audience: Inexplicable.
Director’s posturing: Unforgivable.
Heroine’s breasts: Unrestrainable.
Verdict: Unremarkable. **.
I’m not a snob about this, really, and I love a big, dumb film sometimes. Just not this one, as exceedingly big and exceedingly dumb as it is.
There are much smarter people out there saying much cleverer things about this movie than I can: Roger Ebert and MaryAnn Johanson are perhaps the best.
