Not as bad as you think

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2009)

Movies can be the work of genius in many ways, Dark Knight for the character evolution and subsequent destruction, Shawshank redemption for the tale of friendship in the most unlikeliest of places...in short everyone has a favourite and everyone has an opinion, however no matter how you look at movies what your feelings and opinions are in the end they are there to entertain us and suspend or imagination for couple hours, escape from the daily grind of life.
Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen is a movie that will never be seen us a classic character driven movie with great acting...this is a "summer blockbuster", all about ticking boxes creating a franchise...making money!!!
For me and the majority of mid thirty year old men who grew up with the Hasbro series and had the old gen1 toys when they were young will enjoy the movie...kids will love this movie. This is what the movie is about escaping for a couple of hours remembering your childhood with your kids. It is not meant too be a movie to rival classics like "godfather", "TDK", "Usual Suspects"...no this is a summer blockbuster.
So in short if you expect acting, character development a plausible plot...then do not go.
If you want action, thrills and a chance to escape for a couple of hours...then pay the admission sit back and enjoy!!!
This is why in terms of a "summer blockbuster" Transformers:ROTF is a work of genius...certainly not the work of a prepubescent 13 year old boy as some have commented.
