The Transformers 2 Trailer: Full of Win

By Lev Grossman on February 17, 2009

I'm a little embarrassed that I've rewatched the Transformers 2 trailer a few times:

I liked the part where the humans died.

There are reasonable odds that the trailer, by virtue of its awesomeness and brevity, will be better than the actual movie -- as if Michael Bay were mounting a deconstruction of the patriarchal dominance of movie over trailer, inverting the hierarchy in an act of triumphant aesthetic rebellion.

Yeah, anyway, MTV has a shot by shot analysis.

  1. I see Minicons! Were there any in the first movie? I never bothered to watch it.

    Anyways, I remember those animal transformers. I always threw out the instructions and couldn't figure them out, so I had a shelf full of half Triceratops, half motorcycle things.
