Good grief...this is getting ridiculous. I'm not a Micheal Bay fan. I like good story movies too. BUT, I really enjoyed Transformers 2. I liked it for different reasons than I have for enjoying classic movies. I can only assume that somebody who is willing to insult another individuals intelligence for enjoying what they themselves don't enjoy must think awfully high of themselves. That kind of conciet that demeans other people is really kind of disgusting in it's own right. I don't get it...just say the movie wasn't your cup of tea and move on. Heck, there are a ton of movies out there that are critically acclaimed masterpieces that I have felt were complete jokes. Just because something is artistic doesn't make it good.
Anyway, I still think the movie was enjoyable. Enjoyable is the key. I like it...for childish reasons because it is a childish movie. Of course, I'm the type of person who can sit down and watch the Simpson's and enjoy it immensly. I don't over analyze the fact that Homer could never be that stupid or dwell on the fact that story has all kinds of plot holes only loosely covered by random bacground characters. I'm ok with the fact that Side Show Bob is way smarter than the entire Simpson family and yet he can't seem to outwit them in the end. You know why? Because I'm just looking for a good enjoyable time on the tv for the few minutes I can catch it. Transformers 2 was no different. I was looking for some action packed robot wars and it deliverd. It reminded me of my childhood. Oh, and it made enough sense that I didn't have to explain it to my un-initiated 14 yr old daughter. Good flick in my book. Sorry some of you guys don't agree. However, Box Office numbers aren't on your side...but I guess that just makes you elitists.
