Transformers 2 (2009)

Transformers 2 is a film based on the cartoon series/toy line from the 80's. It's a very weird title for a movie since as far as I know there never was a Transformers 1. Kinda weird!

Jessica Fox/Jessica Rabbit. Who would
you choose?
Anyway this movie is a cartoon/live action movie like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It stars Shia LaBeauf as a kid who's car is alive and whos parents are burnt out druggies. Unfortunately, unlike Who Framed Roger Rabbit we don't get a hot cartoon babe like Jessica Rabbit, instead we get another coked up unknown model named Jessica Fox. In fact, there aren't ANY cartoon babes in this movie! All the cartoons are big robots, GM vehicles and pyramids.

The story is Shia is trying to go to college so he tells his best friend the car to beat it! So he goes to college and this lady can't keep her paws off of him, much to his cars dismay. (his car beat it for a while but came back). Finally we learn that the lady is actually a robot (it was transformed into a lady) and it got killed.

Then they teleport to Egypt when they learn the bad robots hate historical artifacts and they start punching the shit out of some pyramids. There's some weird Jesus Christ of Nazereth imagery when they bring back Optimus Prime (who is a semi truck) is brought back to life.

They stop the bad robots from killing the pyramids and then the movie ends.

What a terrible movie! I can't believe this was made. I never saw Transformers from the 80's but I was excited to see this movie since they had finally made a new cartoon/live action cross over movie. Too bad they didn't add any hot cartoon babes or even a plot to keep anyone interested! Why the heck did the robots hate Egypt/the pyramids so much??? I don't know!!! Also all the GM product placement got annoying and they probably had to use 100 million dollars worth of CG to make it look like the vehicles were working and to edit out all the times they broke down and caught on fire.

Why the heck did they call this number 2? Planning on making number 1 next as a prequel?? I don't get it. This movie gets my lowest possible score, ** two stars.

  1. Here you go. The picture you posted is incorrect, the name is incorrect which makes me assume that this is another one of the movies you didn't watch but feel like you have to critique. Copy and paste the links:
