Weak and Unimpressive

Rating: 4/10 (23 May 2013)

Unlike the first film, which was moderately entertaining, Revenge of the Fallen is a mess. The chaotic battle scenes are even more chaotic, making it hard to figure out what's going on, and the film once again falls into the trap of too many human relationship scenes, missing the point of the cartoons completely. The transformer designs are even more monotone than before, Bumblebee's speech problem, despite being annoying in the first film, is still there, and it's as though the producers took all the flaws of the first movie and deliberately made them worse. Very disappointing.
Good points? To be honest I can't really think of any. Shia Lebouf is not a bad actor but doesn't have a lot to go on here, Megan Fox is as stiff as a board, and it just doesn't work.
