Call me a lapdog for Michael Bay's robotic brand of explosion-ridden heartlessness if you must, but I can't shake this loving feeling. This new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailer is precisely what a "giant alien robot movie directed by Michael Bay" is supposed to be---nothing but money shots, expensive effects, total devastation, incoherent anarchy, and a reminder's glimpse that Megan Fox is still down.
Toss in a seemingly darker, angrier tone, and you've got my vote for "Most Anticipated Flick for Summer '09." This coming from the same guy who swears that The Wrestler got robbed of a deserving Best Picture nomination, and that Let The Right One received similar snubbery out of the Best Foreign Film slot.
I'm like the 2Pac of cinema-junkies....a walking contradiction, just as apt to put my thinking cap as I am to bask in juvenile absurdity. Obviously I don't mean that as anything more than a joke. Let's be real. As a matter of fact, Grandma's Boy is on cable right now, and that's a foolish gem I never miss.
****BONUS
Here's another newly-unleashed sequel teaser, this time for the incredible Spanish horror whirlwind known as [Rec], obviously titled [Rec] 2. Absolutely nothing in the way of plot is revealed here, which makes it a sort of foreign-horror kindred spirit to the above Transformers one. But the actual finished product will be from the original's same two directors-writers, and [Rec] itself benefitted from an early miniscule teaser such as this, so...so far, so good.
I'd love to know how they're approaching this one story-wise: investigators looking into the apartment building from the first? the infection spreading itself throughout the city, past the building's quarantine zone?
I'm guessing American won't be seeing a Quarantine sequel any time soon (the film performed well, but not blockbuster-y enough to warrant a new chapter), so for Quarantine lovers, this is most likely the closest you're going to get.
