Today I have mostly been mildly disappointed by Transformers 2
It's alright, I guess, as anything with Megan Fox and giant robots is going to be.

But still, it suffers a bit from Jar Jar Binks syndrome as well as Random Name Generator difficulty.

What the fuck is a Matrix of Leadership?

Meh.

I saw it today too
I thought it was utter shite.

I went just wanting to see some giant robot fun.

All I saw was a film for 14 year old boys.
Now I'm not a feminist but was there any need for quite so much tits and arse?

I wasn't expecting high art but really. It could have at least has some kind of plot beyond fannys and knob jokes.

This is true
All the bits with the robot/girl - wtf? Why have you turned this film into Terminator 3? Wasn't one of them shit enough?

And the ending seemed very abrupt. And also so like the first one I had to ask my friend what year it was.

What was up with the Primes, too? They looked like those fucking Lego things that are shit*.

*some clarification obviously required

It was mainly
the tits and arse that annoyed me.
The establishing shot of the girlfriend was soft porn.
I might sound a bit Germaine Greer but I'm n0t happy about young boys seeing films in which women are either mums or brainless sex objects.

Yeah
Well there was that bit where...umm...nope.

There was the Australian brainy one in the first film, though. She was mega.

I'd, er, interface with her...mainframe? No, it's no use, that's to tenuous even for me.

What I wanted to know
what why there was an Italian fresco on the wall inside Petra.

(it might be there really but still)

I was more offended
That they ran from the pyramids and through Karnak (400 miles south of them) and then the Ramasseum (on the other side of the Nile from Karnak) then drove to Petra which is hundreds of miles east over the Suez Canal.

Funny that this bothers me but giant space robots is fine...

Well I don't
know the geography of that region but I guessed it was a load of old arse.

I've never been to Egypt but I don't imagine that there are ancient ruins and camel trains every 100 yards.

Jesus. This means I can never watch this film.
I wasn't going to, but this would tip me over the edge.

without wanting to in any way contradict what you are saying
the matrix of leadership was something from the original cartoons and stuff.

You had a mis-spent youth.
And not in a good way.

Oh,
Mr Bin says that the Matrix thingy was from the original film that Prime had in is chest and he hands it over to some other fella who becomes another Prime.

Even if it is all still canon it is still shite.
