Knight in Shining Armor Part 2

If you remember, my first post ever was about chivalry and the first Transformers. I thought that since I just saw Transformers 2 over the weekend that I would comment. I saw it on IMAX and it was pretty incredible. It was my first IMAX experience. Even though we were pretty far back in the theater, I could have moved 15 rows back to really take in all of the detail with the HD. It is worth paying more money. I agree with the critics average of a C+ for a rating. It was your classic sequal. Michael Bay made this one a little bigger with more transformers and more explosions. It was what I expected out of him and I came away satisfied. The CG was pretty amazing. It was just a touch better than the first movie. I give it a C+ mainly because the script was a little blah, the acting was a little blah, and the plot was a little blah, but the action more than made up for these poor aspects of the movie. Shia continues to do a good job in any role he gets placed in especially for being a younger actor. Megan Fox is pretty much eye candy. She may want to stop before she gets ahead of herself. The comic relief was funny but a bit annoying at times. The rating commission may also want to reconsider the PG-13 rating. This movie certainly pushed the line to an R rating with some of the sexual references and profanity. Let's just say I was a little annoyed with the parent that brought their 8 year old to the show. All in all Transformers 2 was a great summer blockbuster.

Here is my list of summer movies thus far in order that I like best:
1. Star Trek
2. Transformers 2
3. Wolverine Origins
4. The Hangover
5. Angels and Demons
6. Fast & Furious (not sure why I put myself through this one)

I have yet to see Terminator Salvation but am a little concerned over the reviews.
I'm excited to see the following:
1. Public Enemies
2. GI Joe
3. Sherlock Holmes (comes out in December)
4. Harry Potter.

I will probably see the following:
1. Hurt Locker
2. District 9
3. Inglourious Basterds (not a huge fan of Tarantino though)

Call me an action movie nut...
