An unbiased review of Transformers 2 by an impartial journalist
On the day I saw T2, I tried to buy an Optimus Prime t-shirt before the movie (weird alert), but they had only one at Target and it was a boy’s XS. Sorry if you wanted that for your 5-year-old and I stretched it out trying to make it work.
My favorite part: When Opt. (that’s what I call him at home) got the powers of the older and wiser former Decepticon-turned-good and became Prime Plus! Then, butt kicking of ultimate proportions ensued!
The hottness factor of Megan Fix, I mean Fox, was enhanced technologically. I’m not just sayin’ that cuz men find her attractive and I’m a female. I’m sayin’ it cuz I’m a geek and I think it’s cool how they did it. You’re old enough to Google the details.
The humor was excellent and somewhat subtle.
The mom was funny way beyond what she was in the first movie.
There was some love tension and humor. I cried.
A really cool Palm Pre commercial ran in the previews.
I found myself sort of crushin’ on Bumble Bee, then remembered two things. 1) In the heart of the crush world, Bee belongs to my cousin, Kristin, and my co-worker, Trish. 2) I claimed loyalty to Opt. even before I saw him get stronger and save the world. Now, there’s no goin’ back.

My husband is in the throes of a biliary colic (Google it) attack and pacing the floor in agonizing pain. To distract him, I read your review out loud. It precipitated a belly laugh. Thanks for the momentary distraction.

Boy talk about “spoiler ALERT!”. I have seen it 2 times already, so it didn’t bother me. No crushes. Not even on Fox. Bee is my buddy though. and the revamped ice cream truck guys are the bomb.
On another note, I had a family reunion (folks from TN, AL, FL, and NV) this weekend and one day I wore my Hazel and Jimmy shirt. I had to gather them all and tell the story ONCE, it was an experience to say the least.

Awesome, Turt…hope your husband feels better!
Chris, you’re the second man I’ve heard say that Megan Fox doesn’t do it for him! What gives? I like the ice cream truck guys, too! Ha, I can imagine the looks you got trying to explain H&J!
LindsAy, thank you.
