so much awesome in just one movie
Debbie and I went and saw Transformers 2 last night. I’ll kick this off by saying that there’s no spoilers in here, don’t worry.
In preparation, we watched Transformers 1 about a week ago. It’s a movie I very much loved when I saw it at the movies, but it was also one I then didn’t watch over and over when it came out on DVD. So watching it a couple of weeks ago was possibly only the third time I’ve ever watched it. And I just sat there in amazement at just how incredible it was. I think I adored it more than when I saw it at the movies.
So watching the second one last night had a lot to live up to… And you can’t really define whether or not it’s better or worse – it’s just a second movie. But in its own right, it definitely lives up to the first one. As I left, the only word I could think to describe it was ‘epic’: it was very long, but I never got bored; there was so much action, way more than #1; and the plot was very, very intense.
And I really hope that it ends here – two movies, both incredibly awesome, without being copies, with a brilliant ending to the second. No need to take it to a third movie. I think we’re all satisfied and have had our fill.
For me, these two movies will stand long and proud as some of my favourite of all time.

there’s meant to be a third one – probably in 2012
