Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen by Rafael U.

Please forgive the length of this review i just need to vent :)


I'm about to turn 28 in November so you can say i lived in the hey day of 80s cartoons brilliance. This list could go on and on. I watched the "Transformer" G1 cartoon as a kid never was big into it, never had any of the action figures. But a fan non the less. Two years ago ago when Michael Bay came out with the first i was uber excited and couldn't wait to see it and i did 3 times in fact LOVED THIS MOVIE! told people it was the greatest thing since...ever. Until about 3 weeks ago i was still a fan of the first and waiting for the second with slight reservation only based on the disdain i had for every trailer released for the flick. So i watched the first one again 3 weeks ago and hated it. it had been since it was new on DVD since i had seen it. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that it just wasn't as good as i remembered. So this of course added to my wariness about the second. So when i came out what did i do? I read the reviews and asked my friends at work who had seen it to tell me what they thought. All the reviewers I respect hated it and my friends at work saw the second coming.Until.........

I saw the piece of shit! all i want to see is a well put together 2 hour robot war. I want to see STARSCREAM my favorite of them all grow some balls. I'm gonna slow down. The movie opened great it was really setting up to be awesome. Until the The Witwicky family showed its ugly head then the "Hilarity" ensued. The fact the family was in it didnt bother me , the fact that Sam was having problems leaving his "unfairly hot Megan Fox" girlfriend when he goes away to college didnt either. What did in fact bother me was the hour it took to tell the story of these as far as im concerned non robotic wastes of film. The mom gets high on pot brownies ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! So Sam in college and he gets these visions of Cybertronian symbols and cue "The Fallen" with the Decepticons to try to open ol' Sammys brain up and get what they need to get more energon to of course take over Earth. The Autobots are here to as you might expect lead by Optimus Prime and guess what the Autobots from the first werent as interesting as you remember them being so they were sent to the background story and NOW BATTING Skids and Mudflap the Marlon Wayons of this movie but there is two of them and there offensive they had a gold tooth and talked in Jive almost. My friend Erik who i saw this with (he Hated it too) said they were the Jar Jar Binks of this movie. Well said sir so good in fact i almost took credit for it. So the twins sucked, the story sucked. The CG looked ultra fake. Did i like anything? The answer is yes the robot fight scenes, some not all were pretty awesome to watch. I liked the (Spoiler) Constructicon (Spoiler) i thought that was pretty cool. I didnt have that same "Fanboy" clouded mind that i did when the first came out. Maybe that was my problem I should just drink the Kool-aid and say it was so pretty and awesome but it wasn't. It made me sad it has so much potential and it just wasnt any good at all. To Michael Bay, I hated this movie but i loved Bad Boys 2. Its Rated PG-13 for alot of dirty language and robot violence. If your planning to see it in the theater see it in IMAX at least you'll get some cool visuals, but if your not in a rush wait till it comes out on Blu-Ray and hope a friend buys it and "Watch it" try not to pay for it at all. But right now im done witht his movie and i will talk to you soon. Thanks for reading
