Lincoln/Coverdale

Kevin, the wife, and I went to see Transformers 2 last night at the Henry Ford IMAX theater. It was horrible: the story was ridiculous, the dialogue was cheesy, and a list always needs a third thing. Now that I have that out of the way, here’s why I loved it:

• There were giant robots.
• They turned into vehicles.
• The robots never stopped fighting.
• The Constructicons combined to form Devastator.
• If you pretend it’s just a live action cartoon, the non sequiturs (such as walking into the Steven R. Udvar-Hazy Center annex to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and walking out into a desert filled with retired military planes) aren’t nearly as distracting.
• Michael Bay’s “vision” did not include a pesky plot.
• Optimus Prime combined with parts from Jetfire to become an unmitigated kicker of ass.
• Deep Roy, the Ooompa-Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, had a bit role.
• The robots never stopped fighting.
