not very well!
Indeed. I read up on it this morning and was surprised at the differences in Wolverine's story, and that of Dead Pool.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Great sequel. There were a few references to the original cartoon series that felt forced, but otherwise the action is great. Those who followed the toy line closely will find a few references to old toys as well.

I saw the teaser for the last airbender. i went to the midnight showing of transformers. It wasn't bad, still entertaining, but the first one was way better. The twins, Mudflap and Skids are incredibly annoying and are there for comedic relief, but they aren't funny whatsoever. The laughs feel forced and even more disappointingly they have more screen time than Optimus Prime, including more dialogue than any of the other Autobots.
Also, while Megan Fox is impossibly hot in this movie, she's completely unused for the second half of the movie. Basically the whole second half of the movie consists of her running in slow motion, while being the only person in the world who doesn't sweat even a little bit in the middle of the desert, tight shots of her boobs bouncing up and down in slow-mo, which of course for male audiences is enjoyable and I'd go see the movie again solely for those scenes! But anyway, yeah, she has importance as a character for the first half and even has some spoken lines besides three words she's focused on the whole movie that she finally says at the end, which is almost her entire spoken dialogue for the second half.
Anyway, yeah, they really focused far too much on the twins and barely introduced any of the autobots, they kind of preview some of the others at the start of the movie, then they barely get any screen time besides standing around in the background.
John Turturro is awesome again, but wow Ramon Rodriguez as Leo, what a uselessly annoying character. He's basically the human version of comedic relief and again it feels forced or unnecessary. Turturro outshines him 10 fold and actually has most of the funny scenes in this sequel. Still an entertaining movie, but really misdirected/written in a lot of ways.
Oh I almost forgot, Sam's mom is pretty funny too actually. She has a bigger role this time around, in the first half of the movie anyway.

I thought some of the references to the cartoon were forced, and that some of the characters could have been better portrayed, such as Jetfire. While his character fell mostly in sequence with the cartoon, I didn't like how they made him human-like in terms of how old he was. Leo's character was useless, as Lando said. I feel like maybe too much was trying to get crammed into this movie, kind of like Spiderman 3. Still, I enjoyed it a lot!

Yeah she was definitely impervious to dirt and sweat!
I agree about Jetfire and also I was mad that they turned Starscream into such a bitch. He was the only one to live in the last movie and was actually pretty damn cool in the first movie. This time he just gets shoved around and does nothing good except get bitchslapped by Megatron repeatedly.
I also wish they would've just brought back Rachael Taylor, the hot blone Aussie actress from the first movie, she would've been a good replacement for Leo's character.
