Way too long and very tedious.

Rating: 1/10 (3 August 2009)

By the time the Egypt sequence began I really did not care anymore and just wanted the film to be over. It was just far far too long, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of Michael Bay, and the first Transformers film wasn't exactly the best but I voted it a 6/10. But the action sequences were so, so repetitive. I was glad that Bay chose not to film them way too close up this time, like he did in the first film, but it just seemed to be the typical Baysplosion sequence over and over again. Not to mention the now-overused Bullet Time sequence that seems to be in every summer action movie nowadays. It's so overused even The Simpsons Movie did it. If there were no slow-motion sequences in Revenge of the Fallen the runtime would be at least half an hour shorter. Another complaint I have is the same as one I had with the first film - too much humans, not enough Transformers. Shia's whole mental breakdown thing made me cringe, and all those pointless scenes with his mom at the start - if I wanted to see a stoner movie, I would have gone to see one.
