Awful for fans of the original cartoon

Rating: 4/10 (5 August 2009)

I have to admit I am not part of the target demographic as I don't have any testosterone. I am a fan of the original cartoon, when I heard about the first one I was excited to see the autobots! But it was a bit too much with the human element and the military, what action movie doesn't entail the military these days.
The first one was a bore because it spent too much time on the human characters, the sexual tension was there for guys and nothing more.
OK, I went into the "revenge of the fallen" with mild expectations and it was bittersweet. I liked the fact that the autobots and deceptacons got more screen time. C'mon, this is a "Transformers" movie so expect a lot of robots and some action. There are a lot of big explosions, Peter Cullen who is the voice of Optimus Prime is really who carried this movie.
What I didn't expect was the crude sexual innuendos, profanity and utter lack of depth of the script. Apparently Michael Bay made this movie for males between teenagers, or the same target audience as "Step Brothers".
If you are a fan of the 80's cartoon go in with low expectations you won't be disappointed. I can't believe it has grossed so much money. Watch it when it's out on DVD, rent is the key word.
I can't believe I paid to watch this movie
