Not as much of a noisy headache as I thought it would be...

Rating: 5/10 (5 December 2009)

I've taken the risk of actually renting this would-be disaster piece on iTunes and realized it wasn't as bad as I thought it to be.
Overall, the movie met my expectations of good special effects, which is basically what Transformers is all about. All CGI looked very real and there was much work put into the stunts. These two parts never faltered throughout Revenge of the Fallen. What sets this movie apart from the prequel was there wasn't as much of awful character development (Thank goodness).
But still, I couldn't stand hearing any of these actors talk. Anything that comes out of these cardboard goofy characters' mouths were just annoying and just plain insulting. Even the voice overs were annoying. Michael Bay had an excuse to create an erroneous and hard-to-follow story line by placing self absorbed and nonsensical action sequences that bring more explosions and chaos to a deafening level. I was having a hard time following the confusing story line in the middle of it. I watched it today and have a hard time trying to explain what this movie was really about.
Yet still, this is not exactly horrible as I anticipated it. I don't quite recommend it fully, but the CGI and the special effects are probably worth viewing if you have nothing better to do.
