Crap in disguise

[yendi]

As always, Ebert has a field day with a bad movie. In this case, he takes apart Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

As slams go, it's hard not to love a line like, "If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination."

Harry Knowles called Transformers 2 "misogynistic" (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41512). In light of things like this (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/19700) (scroll down to "The Women of Sin City"), you know it's gotta be bad.

Of course, Transformers 1 was racist, too, but Harry failed to pick up on that.

But yeah, if he's pissed off by a genre flick, it must be really, really bad.

This means I will like this movie. Good.

I've generally found Ebert's taste to be pretty solid (at times lenient) on popcorn flicks.

My opinion is usually the opposite about 85% of the time with him. But hey, icon is relevant. ;)

Was it really disguised?

[yendi]

Yeah, but it turns out that bending crap into the shape of a robot doesn't hide the fact that it's crap.

What if I bend it into a missile kitty?
