I think I just went in with the twin weapons of lowered expectations and the ever-useful "well it's in its own universe, so whatever."<br /><br />Weasel:<br /><br />All the Autobots are kind of underused, but Bumblebee gets as much screen time as any of them, and has some kick-arse fights, as well as some comedy/emotional moments in the same vein as the last film. If you liked his role in that, you should be ok.<br /><br />I also wouldn't worry about the film being a success. Transformers is a summer movie juggernaut now, and the majority of people aren't going to care what the critics (or the fans) say.Bishbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429304622553626284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-38233718834448319362009-06-21T14:43:56.263-07:002009-06-21T14:43:56.263-07:00I'll be blunt: the early reviews are actually ...I'll be blunt: the early reviews are actually scaring me a bit. I really want this film to be successful because I want a third. Badly.<br /><br />I'm hearing great things about Jetfire and Wheelie, but I'm also hearing that Bumblebee is badly underused. If that's the case, I know I'm going to be extremely disappointed. (Bumblebee's my main interest.)<br /><br />Although I'm glad they've added more characters, I'm really afraid that this may detract from the main cast. I was fine with keeping the robot cast small, as long as they had some decent screen time and character development.<br /><br />I still hope this film is a success and that the studio and crew can learn from their mistakes and make a better third chapter. One can hope.Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059654085619607002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-82844000293756974222009-06-21T07:32:04.014-07:002009-06-21T07:32:04.014-07:00Very fair review.

I'd expected, with all the extra characters, to get more scenes with the various bots. Instead, we had extended sequences where the US military saved the day. Or did most of the talking.<br /><br />I dunno, it's like turning up for a Batman movie and having all the focus be on some cop.<br /><br />Ratchet got, what, one line? Ironhide got two? Jolt didn't get any? Sideswipe got three lines, but none memorable? Huge missed opportunity. Even Megatron seemed sidelined.<br /><br />The twins got a lot more attention, but that wasn't a good thing. Jetfire was alright.<br /><br />The pandering to what would seem to be the producer's opinion of teenage boys' sole interest (ie, Megan Fox's) cleavage was downright embarrassing. She appears to spend the entire movie straddling one thing or another.<br /><br />And apart from a couple of decent jokes, most humour relied on swearing and fart jokes.
