So, I read this review about Transformers, by some lady who works for Time Magazine and I honestly just think she is stupid.
If you haven’t seen the movie you may not understand any of this and if you have I would read her review and then mine.
She whines and infers that it’s unrealistic that Sam would not have washed his sweatshirt since the last movie, which would have taken place two years prior. To be honest I have jackets in my closet I have touched in more than two years nor have washed.
She then continues to say that the new Autobot characters, Mudfalp and Skids, “speak in an appallingly offensive ghetto patois”. They were meant for comedic relief. Did she even watch the movie or just judge it? And I apologize on the behalf of us “ghetto” folk who enjoyed these characters. I didn’t know high class citizens such as her self even went to movies out in public.
Complaints are made that the movie only caters to male veiwers and that some of the Decepticons even look like dinosaurs, “which borders on pandering to 5-year-olds.” Who said girls don’t enjoy this kind of stuff too. Sexist much?
She then calls Megan Fox’s performance “stoic” and suggest the Michael Bay treats her like “last month’s penthouse pet”. She even suggest that Bay simply used her for looks and could care less about her acting ability. Sounds jealous to me.
I liked the new movie and in fact I thought the story line was great and easy to follow. It was a lot of fun and actually pretty funny. I think I laughed more in this move than I did when I went to go see Year One, but that’s another review. The action sequences were to die for. And the drama of the movie which I always think is the heart of a film, was portrayed well. whether it was Judy and Ron’s (Sam’s parents) fear of losing their child, or Mikaela wanting nothing more than for Sam to say “I love you”.
I liked the movie and I would recommend it!
