Low Critical Value, Great Entertainment Value

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2009)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a great continuation of the original from 2007. Michael bay has once again created a great ride, but (what a shock) critics did not like the film, since many reviews were more than hostile against the whole thing.
Yes, it is true, the film lacks all the values that critics so much desire. It lacks in character development, the story, well, also the plot has holes. we might say it has a very low critical value. But who cares, most films that critics like are usually so boring that you ask yourself why are you tormenting yourself by watching it, just remember Monster's Ball, Brokeback Mountain and many other films.
Well, Transformers is not this kind of film. It is the opposite. It is a great action ride with childish humor, which actually is not so harmless as it might seem at first sight. It has a few vulgar lines. And because of all this it ads to the mood of the whole film as a positive one. Whether you are a teenager or a grown-up, it does not matter, you will laugh to the jokes, no matter how primitive they are, because they actually work.
The soundtrack is once again the winner. Steve Jablonsky, Linkin Park and many other musicians add to the tempo of the film, which is always at high speed. It never stops.
Visual effects are once again spectacular, explosions are already Bay's trademark, but this time he even surpassed himself by making Transformers 2 one of the most explosive films of the year.
So, if you are a person, who likes to relax in the cinema and wants to have a lot of laughs, and at the same time enjoy in an adventure full of action sequences, then Transformers 2 is the film for you. If you are searching for a film with a plot, a lot of twists and surprises, then you better stay away.
But one is sure, Michael Bay never disappoints, if you are looking for a film that can entertain you, because he is an entertainer and not an artist.
All in all, it is worth to see this film in the cinema on the big screen, because sometimes a light film to relax and enjoy is all you need to relax your brain cells for a while.
