Lileks: Okay, got it: "Transformers 2" is for people who found "Speed Racer" too talky and dragged down by exposition.

Lileks: Transformers review so far: if all the elements involving humans were removed, this would be an art film beloved by Boingboing types.

Lileks: There's a scene early in "Transformers 2" that is at least 5 seconds long. For Michael Bay, that's like the opening of "Touch of Evil."
