Well, checking out the trailer of Transformers 2 - The revenge of the fallen and It looks like it's going to be a pretty great sequal to the original transformers film.
I'll be seeing it when it comes out, I was unsure about the first one just because I wasn't sure what the story would be but now I know what they can do and I'm excited to see the film.
I am getting dragged to it by friends. The first one sat well with me only as a Action Film but didn't deserve the right to be called Transformers. They tagged a few iconic names onto some robots put basic colors to match the cartoon a bit and then just threw in a random story. No history was accurate, no characters were done right, Megatron was utter crap when he turned into a ship and not a gun, and who decides to name a Tank "Devastator" when that robot only came when (originally) 6 robots which then became 5 later in the series joined into one. The construtocons each had individual names but only became Devastator after joining into one.
Also two looks like it will be worse as they are bringing Megatron back as Galvatron without even introducing Unicron (come to think of it there are to many "trons" in Transformers). If he transforms into anything but a cannon I may just walk out of the theater. The bad robot is going to be Skorpinox who was a member of a very powerful race of transformers who could control other robots using psychic powers. His race was so powerful all but him lost their bodies and exist solely has heads. With this they are skipping a very large portion of the story line and once again bringing in iconic names and big robots into an action flick and tagging on Transformers in order to not get sued for stealing copyrighted names.
The only thing that will be good about this movie was the same thing that was decent in the first: The fact that the camera will try to focus on Megan Fox's body any chance it gets.
I don't know anything about the history of transformers. I did enjoy the first movie, for the most part, but thought the fight scenes were extremely hard to follow. From the trailer I've seen, it looks like the've pulled the camera back a little, and slowed it down just a fraction, enough to make the fighting understandable. I can dig that.

I loved the first movie, but I hope they don't do the classic sequel killer. Too many characters! Remember Batman and Robin, besides the horrible acting there were too many actors. In the trailers Transformers look like they have a whole bunch of robots, and I hope they have enough time to highlight them all. Not just hey there is (desepticon name) lets kill it. Allthough I think it looks sweet I will definately have to see it. Crossing my fingers though.
I'm looking forward to the sequel because I really liked the first one. The sequel has a high bar to get over after the first movie. The first one is one of my favorite movies!!
Alright dudes, I know I haven't really been on here in a while, but I'm definitely going to see this flick at the midnight showing tonight, so I'll write a review for it tomorrow...unless someone beats me to it.
