Go See Davecat’s Transformers 2 Review for Lovers
Posted on July 3, 2009
 It’s over at Davecat’s place and it’s better than the movie. Even if you are somehow unable to enjoy his prose, you’ll have to admit that reading it took less money and time than watching this awful movie would.
I have not, nor will I voluntarily, watch TF:ROTFL*, but I did watch the first Bayformers movie and concluded that it was offensive to what passes for my intellect. |
 I’m actually quite surprised Davecat went to see the sequel in the theatre, as I couldn’t imagine a universe in which he could find that movie acceptable on any level other than ‘useful adjunct to an effective mental torture regime for purposes of extracting information from or inducing Stockholm Syndrome in hostile prisoners.’
Lord help me, I almost typed “prehensile prisoners” The real tragedy? Both these movies were so obscenely lucrative that there will inevitably be at least one more theatrical sequel and then a series of straight-to-DVD movies and possibly a goddamn Christmas special. |

Where’d you get that fine Volkswagen Not-a-Transformer from? ME WANT.
He seems a wee bit lost. Have you told him that your laptop is a No Parking Zone?
I actually had to rein in my vitriol with the review, as I didn’t want it to run as long as TF:ROTF. But like you said, at least mine’s free.
My Volkswagen was identified as a “Deluxe GoBot” when purchased by myself in the 1980’s.
It is one of my most beloved toys, showing much love damage.
It is partially die-cast, has a pleasing heft, and looks really good when in car form.
I also had a tank and an Apache helicopter of the same ilk, and while they were comparably in quality, they were nowhere near as endearing.
