Once you're done having geekgasms over the new G.I. Joe Super Bowl spot, prepare for a whole new level of uncontrollable fanboy arousal with the newly revealed ad for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
It's exactly like the first film, only... bigger. And to properly demonstrate why this is indeed a wise, insightful decision on behalf of director Michael Bay, I've compiled photographic evidence with which to demonstrate my case.

If ever there were a man to do a film adaptation of the Milton Bradley game Battleship, Michael Bay would be it. Except in his version, the hit/miss gameplay element would be replaced by a never-ending stream of only hits. Because why have missiles miss their targets when you can just have them repeatedly blow shit up instead? |

I don't know what the hell is happening in this image, but it contains helicopters, explosions, and what appears to be a transformer fucking shit up. Attaboy Michael Bay, you've done it again! |

A dog-like transformer with razor sharp teeth and one eye. Awesome, retarded or awesomely retarded? You decide. No, just kidding. I've decided for you. It's the last one. |

This transformer is so big, it doesn't even fit in the frame! That means it HAS to be cool, right? |

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK I'M LOOKING AT BUT MY GOD JUST LOOK AT THE PRETTY COLORS |

Oh. Ok. This makes a bit more sense. It appears to be Optimus Prime being punched in the face--OH SHIT IT'S OPTIMUS PRIME BEING PUNCHED IN THE FACE WTF AWESOME LOL |

Ugh, I'm not fond of that bridge. I sure wish somebody like Michael Bay was directing this film so a massive fucking transformer could just annihilate the hell out of it. |

You'll notice in this scene that Optimus Prime (circled in red) is but a mere speck next to this bohemian of a Decepticon. This is interesting for a number of reasons, the first being a simple matter of science: the larger the robot, the greater the amount of awesomeness. The second, more notable reason though, is that IT GETS EVEN BIGGER. I think the awesome scale just broke. |
So there you have it. With the undefeatable combination of bigger robots and bigger explosions, Michael Bay has mastered the sequel formula in a way that will surely make director Christopher Nolan step back and say, "Woah now, you mean I wasted all that energy on story and character development in The Dark Knight for nothing?"
That's right, Nolan. You did. How embarassing for you.
Anyway, now that all the worthwhile Super Bowl movie ads have been revealed online (Star Trek, Land of the Lost, Year One, Up, Fast & Furious), I no longer have any reason to tune into the actual game. Thanks, Internet!
