Movie Matinee - Transformers 2


Danielle and I decided to go to the movies yesterday. We had two choices- my pick of Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen or her pick of I Love You Beth Cooper. I really didn't consider ILYBC as a movie you would want to see on the big screen. On the other hand, Transformers offered a lot of action and great special effects. I won the decisive vote and we went to go see Transformers 2. We went early in the day so we could get Matinee prices, which are even really high at $6.50/person. Then Danielle was being mean, and said I shouldn't buy popcorn because its way too expensive. Meanwhile, the popcorn guy is staring at us arguing. I guess Danielle was right though so I ended up not getting any. Their "best" deal was a medium popcorn, medium drink, and candy for $10.00. We passed. So we got to see some previews of movies and the on that stood out the most was the new Harry Potter movie. It looks very good, and I'm excited to go see it later this week as I have read the entire series. Furthermore, Half-Blood Prince is one of my favorite books. Transformers was a very good movie despite all the harsh critic reviews. If you enjoyed the first one, I believe you would definitely enjoy this new installment. Shia gives another great performance as Sam Witwicky. Megan Fox brings something to the movie that I just can't put into words. The robots are all back and cool as they were in the previous film. Many new robots join the cast. One in particular that stood out the most for me was Devestator. He was the biggest Transformer I have ever witnessed. The movie was 150 minutes long, but to tell you the truth you wouldn't even know it because of all the action going on. At one point of the movie, I looked over at Danielle and she had tears in her eyes. There was a sad part towards the end that hit her emotional button, but I don't want to ruin it for you all. I definitely recommend you go see this movie, especially if you enjoyed the first. Questions or comments ........ please indulge me!!


My rating: 4.5 out of 5 (I most likely will buy when out on DVD)

  1. My sister enjoyed the first "Transformer", but I think she thought the second one was just okay. I preferred the first one, as well. It was better than I thought it'd be - the second one wasn't. I wasn't disappointed tho' because I wasn't all that excited to see it in the first place, lol, but yeah.... I thought the first one was pretty good. :]
