EckSpot Brief Review of Transformers 2

Cari and I don't get out to movies very often. This weekend, with my parents in town, we had the opportunity to go out for a date night and decided to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at our local "value" (formerly dollar) theater. We really enjoyed the movie!

Transformers 2 is a fun action flick. It does an excellent job telling the story of the Transformers and the origins of their ongoing civil war. Although I grew up with the original cartoon series and collected the figurines, I never realized that the Transformers are actually an alien race. The special effects and action sequences are very well done. The movie was a little long (150 minutes) and some of the dialog between the Transformers was difficult to understand. Having said that, enjoying the performance of Megan Fox made the duration of the movie very enjoyable, especially for the men in the audience.

We highly recommend Transformers 2, especially as a value theater or DVD selection.
