I truly thought the acting by Bale and by Cotillard was atrocious.

Don't know who the other guy is, but IMO Bale is a shitty actor...he's most wooden in the things I've seen, which is maybe why he was perfectly suited to equilibrium...he's played interesting characters, given, but he's pretty much the same guy in every movie, you ask me...the blank, almost monotone guy.
They ought to have voice casted HIM for soundwave in TF2.
That said, I don't hate him...he was actually GOOD in American Psycho, I'd like to see a bit more of THAT guy.
I saw Transformers 2 last week.
The fight scenes were improved - not close enough to the screen to hit you in the face this time, and yes there was a bit more colour variation and better "coreography" (if that's what you'd say for complete cgi) in the fight scenes...my major problem with the first one is you couldn't much tell what the fuck was going on. One bit of a nitpick is *spoiler*
Why the fuck did Optimus who was "killed" by not much more'n a beatdown involving not a lot of head trauma, need this crazy-ass artifact to get bought back to life, but apparently megatron was good to go, even after getting the mother of all "this will fuck robots up" allspark asskicking handed to him in the first one (and sinking, sitting dormant for 2 years in the bottom of the ocean), with nothing more than "lets get some guys down there and throw on a completely different leg" and he's right as rain?
However, I wasn't watching it for anything resembling a plot.
The new transformers and decepticons kind of faded in and out of plot and existence (like the holograph chick bikes) and I thought that Devestator, assuming thats who it was meant to be, being there to
suck down one transformer and tear down a pyramid was a little bit superfluous, but the beast looked alright.
The 'bots were improved, the fight scenes were improved, even if one did shamelessly rip off a God of War scene.
The
"turning" deceptecons I thought was an interesting idea, and would like to see some more of that going on for both sides if there's a third. The comedy relief, a tad over the top.
I'm no huge fan of the first, in fact I didn't much like it at all - the second addressed a lot of the issues I had with the first which works for me. Bit more autobot and deceptecon dialogue this time which was cool - resembled the series a fair bit more I thought -
Wish SW had "the voice" though. and the portrayal of Megatron I thought was a lot better, and more sinister this time around...
I'll give this one a 7.
Here, I'm now gonna say something - the amount of guys like over the age of 30 talking about how hot the chick in TF is and how much they'd like to fuck her is now creeping me out...I hope a lot of these guys aren't uncles...I'm 28 and she's like only 4-5 years younger than me, but I personally see nothing but "girl". Actually, I see "otherwise attractive girl with a case of bitch-face", which is a pet hate of mine...random throw-in there.
I mean, I know she's legal and all but shit guys...reminds me of the guys who would perv at their mates little sisters.
