Michael Bay Should Be Ashamed

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2012)

The reason most sequels fall short is because they rely solely on the material in the first movie. The first Transformers movie had all the makings of a good action movie; action, a decent enough plot, suspense, and a good climactic action sequence. Revenge of the Fallen dragged on and focused a lot on the quick laughs and cheap gimmicks that sell tickets and moved away from a story line that could have made the movie much more interesting. In all, this movie exercised "salesmanship" rather than effort ("Salesmanship" being a practice in trying to sell something sub- par rather than focus on making a good product). In all, this movie isn't worth the time. Go see the first one and forget that they made anything afterwards.
