Transformers 2: I Hate Your Childhood

Transformers was an alright movie. It was nothing like the cartoon, which I fucking love, but the cartoon was dated, all 80's cars so it made sense to update it. The effects were outstanding, I never thought I would see Optimus on the live action big screen ever, but that wasn't Optimus and those weren't my Transformers. Sure the flick made a shit load of money and by all accounts Michael Bay was the best choice to direct a huge car-robot-action film, but still not what I would have liked.
However he is at it again. Shooting starts this summer and casting rumors already crowding the internet. Jonah Hill of "SuperBad" is rumored to be joining the cast as Sam Wicky's college roommate and I couldn't be more bummed.
I thought that the first one focused too much on the humans and not the robots and it looks like its going to be the same thing again. Transformers should be all about huge fighting robots not cleaver, funny kids.
I want to see Optimus beating the shit out of Devestator and Grimlock kicking everyones ass but its not going to happen.
Michael Bay you are raping my childhood.
Fuck.
