Most critics hated Transformers 2: Revenge of Poor Scriptwriting. I did too. It's hard to consider a film that contains so little regard for life. It's sad when every death cheapens the story instead of enhances. And what about all of the Military and civilians mindlessly slaughtered, forever dead simply because their character didn't have top billing? There are so many things wrong with this movie, that it becomes easier to write about the good stuff.
I actually enjoyed most of the first 45 minutes of the flick. In fact, with a good re-write, the first act could have been expanded and made into the whole movie. This movie would have been twice as good if it had been half as long. But, after Optimus battles the Decepticons, the movie spirals down into an unrecoverable state that begs viewers to leave the theater before the credits roll. The movie is so unfocused and chaotic, and OVER THE TOP, that it becomes unintentionally offensive. Unfortunately, I gave the film my ticket money. As did enough others that this 200 million dollar failure will probably make a tidy profit. This is why Hollywood can afford mediocrity. If you haven't paid for a ticket, then please, don't.
