Revenge of the cliché's.

Rating: 3/10 (19 July 2009)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the complete opposite of what a film is supposed to be and fails completely when it tries to appeal to all audiences. In fact it is like being served a dish that has everything undesirable: Racial stereotypes (which are a plenty here), confusing fight scenes, incoherent plot with numerous plot holes and a surprising amount of foul language that serves no purpose to the story (if you can call it a story) and soulless depictions of females, sugar-coated to perfection with the IQ of a dinosaur; Michael Bay to be precise. True, the film sometimes has it's moments but it is completely sidetracked with the most inane and just sheer stupid actions especially with Sam's parents and then later on his roommates or should I say complete refuses of society. Megan Fox is nothing more than window dressing but what can you expect when her character has nothing to do but pose like a Playboy magazine photo shoot. As for the robots, Starscream, Megatron, and The Fallen get more lines of dialog but this film commits the same sin as the first one did. None of the new robots get any chance to develop. This is due to the fact that Bay assumes everyone saw the first film so therefore he felt he didn't need to develop any of the other robots aside from Optimus Prime and Megatron. The first film wasn't nothing special, it had it's charms but after repeated viewings it gets worn out real fast like a new pair of shoes. Wow, that's ten bucks and 2 hours and 30 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Save your money and buy the old animated series and the Beast War series. Those ancient cartoons can run circles around this piece of trash.
Avoid at all costs.
