Disappointing.

Rating: 4/10 (8 August 2009)

Going into seeing Transformers Revenge of the Fallen I had higher expectations than any film that I had ever seen before. I was disappointed with how many flaws were in this film.
Basically the decepticons snatch the all spark and use it to bring Megatron back to life. THey then plan on uncovering a device that is capable of destroying suns. In a nut shell, pretty much that is the main conflict.
I was hoping to see a lot of new transformers in this film. Sideswipe was a really cool new autobot in this film, but he is barely in it for more than a minute. Arcee seemed cool, but she is barely in it. The two main new autobots in the film are skids and mudflap who are easily two of the most annoying characters in film history. Seriously, could not stand them. The talked like they were from the hood and did nothing at all except annoy the hell out of me.
Most of the main autobots from the first film are not in this film nearly enough. Even Prime has a very small role which is inconceivable. What were they thinking? Also for the most part in this film I think there are way too many human scenes and the humans seem too important. It was never like that on the show, sure there were humans around, but it was the transformers who were most important.
Having to watch a film titled tranformers, and have to see humans for the most part was disappointing. I wanted to see a lot of new transformers and lots of transformers scenes and it did not satisfy me enough in either regard.
The humor is very lame as well. THere are a lot of weird sexual jokes though out the film. It just made the film seem like a teen comedy and not a transformer film.
The action was OK, but once again it was hard to tell at times who was winning and who was who.
The film is not all bad though. I loved Soundwave and Ravage in this film. Both were awesome, although not in the film nearly enough. Megatron was cool once again, and so was Starscream. Devastator looked awesome(besides a certain part of his anatomy being present) but he did not do anything that cool.
One more thing, the idea of Megatron having to answer to someone else in the Decepticon ranks is pretty impossible and unthinkable if you ask me. Just saying.
So, while someone who may enjoy lame humor and pointless action may like this film, a true G1 Transformer Fan like myself did not. I do not recommend this film.
