Theory: Michael Bay is 10 years old, 14 at best. I've seen his public self before, but I believe that man to be his decoy. At least I know this movie's target audience: pubescent boys. Why else would they have asked monosyllabic valley-girl Megan Fox back for the second. Oh, and the idiot parents - "Let's get the mom high in this one" says the jr. high cheer squad slash billion dollar action film consultants. Shia gets better at his job while the rest of the world slips into action-induced comas. Drunk on visual-stimulus as robot warriors change back and forth from vehicles to heroes, I'll admit I appreciated the visuals and even the story. I like action, so perhaps if they had removed everyone except the robots, Shia, (and I suppose the very pretty Josh D.) I would be speaking more highly of t
his sequel. Shia, you've got a good thing going here. Don't blow it. I like your
Cusackisms.
PS. A word on sequels: Don't bother, unless you consider them the necessary transition period between the original and the usually more appealing 3rd. Sad, but true.
