So I was looking forward to seeing this movie, not with the child like eagerness that was attached to Call of Duty, but still I was really wanting to see the second installment of the Transformers movies. The first one was good and I liked it a lot save for the fact that they sold out to Chevy by making iconic Bumblebee a Camero versus the true to form, VW bug.... but that's a different rant and I've since moved on and accepted that when the opportunity to seel out for money presents itself, you can count on Hollywood. I digress. SO Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen. SOOOOO LOOOOONNNNNGGGG. This move was about 30-45 minutes longer than it really needed to be. I found myself sitting there and I literally said outloud (I was alone, Elizabeth was in Cali), "Seriously, this isn't over yet?" I mean it took them roughly an hour to cross this little patch of sand. All in all it was a decent movie, I was very upset that I didn't catch it on the big screen, on a postive seeing it made me happy that I spent $1.08 at Red Box versus $20+ at the theater. Since everyone is doing the trilogy these days, there's little doubt there will be a Transformers 3 in the future and lets hope they can redeem themselves, cause this one fell short. Sadly though, based on my lukewarm feelings toward the Fallen, I think it'll be a renter.

So was the chevy bow tie thrust into the center of the shot every time a car rolled up in this one too? haven't had a chance to see for myself.
The Chevy link wasn't as in your face, but it was there for sure Audi got in on the action this go around... It's worth a watch especially with netflix, red box, or another cheap media form... dunno that I'd fork over $5-6 or whatever Blockbuster is charging these days though.
