Transformers 2 opens: An epic guy flick, but replace the Camaro with a hot car
Megan Fox is still hot. Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee is not.
Initially, Michael Bay changed the character of Bumblebee in Transformers from a VW Beetle to a Chevy Camaro because the VW reminded him too much of Herbie the Love Bug. That worked in 2007 when GM was a viable company. However, making Bumblebee a 2010 Camaro today is like giving the lead to Robert Redford.
Redford is a great actor, but certainly not an action hero anymore. GM was once a great car manufacturer, and their Camaro was once a superstar hot car. Today, however, it's passé. They need to wake up and make the star car something that get great mileage and still goes fast and is manufactured by a company that is not in debt to the American taxpayer.
My recommendation is the Mini Cooper S. Something a bit more obscure but sexier would be the Tesla Roadster. Both of these vehicles are small muscle cars of the future, and that's what Transformers is all about – fictionalizing the future.
Megan Fox will be hot for many more sequels, but Bumblebee needs to be updated.
May we all enjoy such fantasy films and continue to be aware that most people on the planet are suffering without adequate food, water or housing. It's time to upgrade their standard of living to match the fictional movies.
