Robots get Revenge

More giant, fighting robots and more Megan Fox cleavage; that seems to be Michael Bay’s marketing plan for this sequel to the 2007 blockbuster, in theaters today. Fans of the original cartoon series—and more pointedly, the toys—were either blown away or disillusioned by the first film, and this one promises more of the same with good and evil transformers in a global war against each other, and innocent civilians simply in the way. This time evil Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Shia LaBeouf’s Sam hostage in a film that Bay promises will focus even more on splashy action sequences and less on boring things like story and character development than its predecessor. Experts are currently running tests to determine if this claim is scientifically possible. Josh Duhamel, John Turturro and Rainn Wilson. Rated PG-13. (Photo courtesy Paramount Pictures)
