I love burgers. Burgers are the best fastfoods ever. Even so, I slightly regret the food-related choices I made today.
In essence, it really wasn't the smartest thing ever when I had a full meal at Carl's Jr only about an hour after a movie. I had some nachos and an ice-blended coffee during the movie. I won't go into details, but this resulted in me throwing up into a ditch after a very long and nauseating bus ride home.
It wasn't that bad. I probably puked maybe one mouthful or so. I didn't really keep it in my mouth long enough to measure it. I was all pale and sweaty when I got home. Paler than usual, which is pretty pale. I still feel slightly ill, but it's no big deal. I'll be fine.
So, the movie. Transformers 2 had a lot of good points. It had several bad points, but I feel that the good points significantly outweigh the bad points. This is not a sentiment shared by the so-called professional movie critics. In general, the critics were really unhappy about how the movie was really long and there was no real plot depth. I personally don't care about that, because I watched Transformers 2 for two reasons: Giant robots destroying each other, and explosions.
There were plenty of sequences involving giant robots destroying each other. Optimus Prime has these cool new red-hot bladey weapons, which he used to fight off a whole bunch of decepticons. Ravage is a freaking missile that becomes a deadly one-eyed panther. A panther that vomits insectoid particles, which can assemble themselves into a robot. The panther also has a gattling gun and two missile launchers.
Ravage is the single coolest transformer in the entire movie. He doesn't even have lines. He probably can't even be referred to as "he". The only other transformer that is even measurably cool enough to stand next to Ravage is Prime himself. The way they animate Ravage's feline grace makes me want to have a little miniature Ravage pet. I would totally buy a Ravage action figure right now.
He eventually had his spine ripped out of his body and used as a whip by Bumblebee. Badass.
Yes, I'm not even going to say anything about Megan Fox. Robot cats that puke insects are simply so much better.
