Big, Dumb & Loud

The new transformers sequel movie's out for quite some time now and I got around to watching it on video. It was a super-sized, mega-loud, action-packed popcorn flick that was made for the big screen and the masses, succeeding in what its predecessor does best in nailing: awesome, mindnumbingly loud action sequences and gigantic robot fight scenes. But that's all there is to it for a Michael Bay flick.

In fact, in certain aspects, you can't help but recall scenes from Michael Bay's past movies:
Michael Bay's signature camera-circling-around-the-actors-or-actresses photography and camera-revolving-round-and-round-holes sequences are back too:


In fact, several more scenes in the film just seems borrowed from films like Black Hawk Down (the chopper crash), Indiana Jones (with the temple scene and Shia LeBoef dressed in leather suit) and even the scene with the Decepticon planet just reeks of Bay's very own Armageddon:

My rating for Transformers 2: 6/10


T-X (from Terminator 3) anyone?
