Transformers: Rise of the Fallen

…or Megan Fox is Smoking Hot.  Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 is a fun movie.  Fun = tons of explosions, transformers metal-on-metal action, Shia Lebeof running, lots of comedic scenes, and, of course, watching Megan Fox do her thing (look mighty fine).  The story itself is a continuation from the first Transformers film, obviously, and it involves the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.  With humans stuck in the middle of it all, Sam Witwicky and his pal Optimus Prime are their only hope for survival.  If you go into the movie looking forward to great dialogue and Oscar-worthiness, you will be disappointed.  The trick to really enjoying this movie is twofold: go into it looking forward to having a good time andanticipating the hotness that is Ms. Fox.  If you follow this advice, you will highly enjoy Transformers 2.  Guaranteed.  Oh, and the CGI is stunning.

Seeing it in IMAX at the midnight showing also helped.  People (mostly comprised of Transformers fans) were hootin’ and hollerin’ the whole time, clapping, and whistling when you-know-who enters the scene.  Two memorable quotes from the showing: (1) “Yeah, Optimus Prime roooocks!!”  (2) [Megan Fox enters first scene] “This is the only reason why I’m here!”
