An Amazing EYE POPPING spectacle

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2009)

I just got back from seeing Revenge of the Fallen. It was nowhere as BAD as the negative reviews have portrayed it.
This movie was great fun. I took my daughter to see it because she loved the first movie and she thought it was awesome. Did it have its faults? Sure it did but first and foremost this is a movie about giant alien robots that transform into planes, cars and a variety of other items. To expect anything other than pure escapism is to delude oneself.
The action sequences were very intense and the fight sequence in the forest is by far the most amazing thing put on film. My only major beef with the film was the sometimes inappropriate interjection of needless sexual references.
The Autobot twins were hysterical and nowhere near the level of Jar Jar annoyance that some have claimed. This movie also showed how bad ass Bumblebee can actually be. My only other complaint is they included many new Autobots into the mix but overall screen time was lacking. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next sequel. Definitely one to see on the big screen.
