As much as I loved the original Transformers cartoon in the '80s, I was unimpressed, to say the least, with the first movie. I held little hope as I sat down to watch the sequel, and, unfortunately,
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen did not disappoint. It was awful. I never got involved in it, the story was just stupid, the acting was atrocious, and the special effects were confusing at best. The story involves the Decepticons retrieving their leader from the ocean floor and attempting to bring back their predecessors, known simply as the Fallen. The Autobots stand in their way, along with their diminutive human allies. How and why the Decepticons never just wiped the humans out is beyond me, but whatever. The effects just bewildered me. Director Michael Bay, who can frame and shoot an explosion better than anyone in Hollywood, decided to make the mechanics of the Transformers so intricate and complex that I had no idea which robot was which, and watching the transformations was dizzying. Ughh...
This isn't even the bottom of the barrel. When the best performance in the movie is that of Shia LeBeouf, worry. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro; all equally abysmal.
This movie is terrible, and even worse, really long. Two and a half hours of explosions, CGI, thin plot, and atrocious acting come to a massive head in this garbage heap. Skip it, and watch
Robot Jox instead. 1.75/10.
See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
