Review: Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

WTF was that cyborg/robot that can mimic human skin/WHATEVER doing in that movie??????
Never mind that she looked uncannily like that alien in Species, but did her robot have to channel Species too???
Desperation isn't an excuse - the franchise is doing Monstrously well.
So ... WTF?????

Also...
If you're going to kick Devestator's arse, with one shot (and let's not focus on how you're trying to please WMD conspiracy theorists with that "top secret rail gun"), why can't you do the same with the other damn robots? Are they further from the sea than that one particular bot climbing that pyramid?
WTF?????

It isn't fair that Constructicons get a role and Dinobots were left out *pout*
Roland, particularly, was miffed.
Though there was a nice leopard-type-bot that was quite nicely animated...

Never mind the 2 somewhat irritating robots you chucked in as spare change (personally, I thought they were kind of cute in a redneck/stereotype latino way)...
But to have a DREAM / WHITE LIGHT SEQUENCE to re-form the matrix from DUST?
SERIOUSLY.
WTF?????

Having ranted, the special effects were Excellent. The transforming robots, particularly, got the royal treatment in CGI. Really Excellent Stuff.

Optimus' voice made me wonder if it's wrong to want to hump a robot.
Bumblebee got a larger roll. Yay! :)
Those actors in uniform? Yummy!

I got emotionally involved when they killed Optimus. Yeah yeah I'm a wuss, whatever.
They've got some nice writing - really funny sequences - but honestly, you'd be hard pressed to remember them when the nice shiney robots enter stage left.

I'm definitely going to watch it again.
And leaving my ranting at the door, I'd probably notice more of the shineyyyyyy...
