Top 10 Reasons to Skip Work and Go See Transformers 2

First, any fan boy wouldn't need to skip work on Wednesday, they'd be dragging themselves into work after going late Tuesday night!

Second, it really is as bad as everyone says!

lol lets make a list of the Top 10 Reasons to Skip Transformers 2 and Go To Work

1. The visuals which would be the only saving grace of the film are lost due to teh fact that every damn machine is the same color and shape. As a result all of the fight scenes look like they were filmed inside a trash compactor full of staples

2. The voices of all the machines sound the same (with the exception of a few annoying ones which I shall address next) so who cares who is voicing who because you cannot tell them apart.

3. "The Twins" are essentially two giant metallic Jar Jar Binks...you remember Jar Jar Binks dont you? Unfortunately we all do :(

4. The movie doesnt know if its trying to appeal to kids or adults so as a result it ends up being some horrible concoction of a Shrek movie on steroids.

5. Wouldve been better had it been a silent film. Seriously any time anyone spoke I just winced a little. Next time make is 1.5 hours of robots punching robots.

6. Its basically just a montage of every other Michael Bay movie ever made. Obligatory slowmo running from explosion, helicopter in background while foreground has someones face, etc.

7. The dick and ball jokes are so embarrassing even Beavis and Butthead would wince

8. Megan Fox who is supposed to be the female eye candy unfortunately looks more machine like than half the machines...plus in the slowmo shots of her running her boobs dont even bounce because the silicone is rock hard.

9. I know not to even expect a plot from an action film like this, but this really had no plot at all. Not even any of the fight scenes were a surprise. I couldnt spoil the movie for you if I tried.

10. Its was horrible, but not so horrible that it was awesome and you could laugh at it. I was on vicodin thanks to a car accident from earlier this week and even that didnt make it entertaining to me. The highlight of the movie was me getting up to go to the restroom and stepping in some kids popcorn.

Rolling Stone got it right:

It's tempting to dismiss Michael Bay's long, loud and ludicrous sequel to 2007's Transformers with one word — hunkajunk. On every level this movie is as bankrupt as GM. But there is more to be said about a movie this gargantuan ($200 million spent on robot hardbodies) and galactically stupid. Transformers: The Revenge of The Fallen is beyond bad, it carves out its own category of godawfulness. And, please, you don't have to remind me that the original was a colossal hit ($700 million worldwide) and the sequel will probably do just as well. I know it's popular. So is junk food, and they both poison your insides and rot your brain. But I do accept that Bay is unique. No one can top him for telling a story with such striking, shrieking incoherence.

(Check out more news and reviews from Peter Travers on the Travers Take.)

Bay picks up the Transformers story by sending Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf yelling every line of dialogue) off to college, leaving behind his mechanic girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox). Let's pause a moment and talk about Bay and his masterful objectification of women. He intros Fox in tight shorts, bent over a motorcycle. I can almost hear Bay behind the camera like a porn director who's captured a clone of Angelina Jolie: "Push that butt out, Megan, twitch it. Now turn, bend, show the rack. Now lick those lips, pout that pout. Hey, makeup, we need more lip gloss." He even brings in another hottie, Isabel Lucas, as Alice, another student who never cracks a book. I assume this is Bay U. Alice gives Sam tongue in ways you won't believe.

Oh, where was I? Yeah, the bots. Sam also leaves behind his first love. That'd be Bumblebee, the yellow Camaro who morphs into Sam's robot guardian angel when needed. He's letting his friends the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), work out their differences with the feds. But what of the devious Decepticons, led by Megatron and The Fallen? Do you think they'll escape confinement and try to destroy the world in battle scenes where you can't tell who's fighting who? Do you think Bay cashes his paycheck?

The plot devolves into a chase story in Egypt and the destruction of the pyramids. More importantly, the story answers the question of who will say "I love you" first — Sam or Mikaela? I'll never tell. I have to salute Bay for helping to create two of the most offensive bots in screen history — Skids (Tom Kenny) and Mudflap (Reno Wilson), Chevy concept cars who do black stereotypes in ways that would shame Jar Jar Binks.

But I've said enough. Go ahead, have your senses senselessly pounded for two and a half hours. And, please, it's not that I hate robot movies. I stand second to no one in admiring the power and dark poetry that James Cameron brought to the first two Terminator films. I even have a dream that the great bots of movie history — Robby, Gort, HAL, R2-D2, C-3PO, the alien from Alien, the sentinels from The Matrix and all the Terminators — will one day march on Bay, who is the true Decepticon. Disguised as a human director, Bay is actually a destroyer of dreams. When Hasbro invented those Transformers toys, the intention was for kids to use their imagination about what those bots would morph into. Bay crushes that imagination with his own crude interpretations that seem untouched by human hands and spirit. I know there are still 17 months to go, but I'm thinking Transformers 2 has a shot at the title Worst Movie of the Decade.

It's still an abysmal piece of garbage.

It is a mystery to me why Hollywood in general and Spielberg/Lucas and Bay, in particular, keep giving $$ and roles to this atrociously untalented self-involved moron.

I would rather tap dance barefoot on razor blades than spend even a thin dime to see one more moment of his strutting and cavorting on-screen.

And don't even get me started on Lil' Meg who has only established herself as a walking boob-job with eyes stretched so taut from plastic surgery she LOOKS like she belongs at AREA 51.

Talentless flotsam....

I have more reasons (and better ones) for not going to see it

Reason 11. Megan Fox's panties were shown for half a second. Well worth it :)

I dont know I saw it last night and I think I would rather go to work than watch it again :/

Also I find it funny that this list is written by someone who hasnt seen this movie. They recommend taking kids to it which is a horrible idea since every other word is "ass" or "bitch" and there are dick jokes about every 5 seconds. Transformers 2 tried to appeal to children and action loving adults alike and just came off as inappropriate for kids and too juvenile for adults.

apart from these reasons, i'd like to add that if your friend is in it, you should definately go see it...
