Today's Sydney Morning Herald had, as usual, the Metro liftout. Surprisingly, it had a small review of RotF in it.

Verdict?

"2 1/2 stars

The second Transformers movie is coarser, louder, dumber, and a teensy bit longer, like most sequels, but also tinged with bitterness and bile."

Waitwhat? Bitterness? Bile? As far as I've seen, it seems to be GIANT ROBOT SMASHFEST WEEEE, not anything particularly bitter. Or bile-y (which is likely not a word).

Since there wasn't a full review during the week, I'm betting that tomorrow's Spectrum will have it, where the reviewer will hopefully explain the bitterness and bile. I am not looking forward to the review in the Sun Herald, since the new reviewer they've employed appears to hate sci-fi on principle (evidence: Star Trek with 4/10).
