Zachary FenellTransformers 2- Good All Around

“That movie didn’t disappoint” were the first words out of my friend’s mouth as we walked out of the movie theatre Saturday night after seeing Transformers 2. Not only did Transformers 2 not disappoint, I felt the movie exceeded expectations (well, at least my expectations). I walked into the theatre expecting to see great action scenes which Transformers 2 did deliver. Not only did Transformers 2 deliver great action scenes but the movie was solid on many other fronts.
Comic relief could be found throughout the movie. A lot of the comic relief centered around Agent Simmons (John Turturro) and Sam’s college roommate Leo (Roman Rodriguez). In one scene Leo is in the passenger seat of a car as Agent Simmons drives while repeating to himself “One man, all alone…” Finally Leo has enough and says “Stop saying that, I’m in the car, you’re not alone!”
Other areas Transformers 2 shine at is picking relatable themes and stimulating philosophical thought. Teenagers can relate to Sam and Mikaela’s struggle to tell the other “I love you”. The Transformers 2 plot is also a great way to generate a philosophical debate about secrets in government. The transformers unit working with the government is kept secret and the movie makes you think about whether secrecy in government is beneficial or harmful.
Lastly, I have to give mad props to those in charge of special effects. The special effects in Transformers 2 were done very well. A lot of movies can get one or two elements of a good movie done well but then lack with the others. Transformers 2 stands out from those other films because Transformers 2 excels in several areas. I would go ahead and say Transformers 2 is a solid movie all around.
