Minimally memorable mindless mayhem

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2009)

This film is about Decepticons trying to destroy the sun. Sam has to race against time to stop their plot.
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" surely has excellent computer graphics. From the destruction of the pyramids to robots fighting, every scene looks so realistic.
However, the good points seem to end there. Just like Michael Bay's previous effort "Pearl Harbour", the film drags on and is far too long. It is filled with mindless and pointless fighting scenes, as if they are fighting just for the sake of it. Most of the time I can't even work out whether the robot is good or bad. From the last Transformer movie, I thought the coloured robots are good and the silver ones are bad, but in this movie it seems the colour robots fight with the colour robots, silver ones fight with silver ones, and then everyone fight with each other. Bullets are coming from every direction, and I cannot work out who is shooting who. Just what is going on in the film?
