A Total Waste of Time, Money, and Source Material

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2011)

The 2009 film "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is considered to be the worst film of that year, and, if not, of all time. This film represents everything that is wrong with the film industry today. The logic of the plot and characters makes little to no sense, as well as takes the classic characters from the source material and takes away what made them memorable. As expected, infamous director Michael Bay replaces character and story for more unnecessary action. The action sequences themselves prove to be cluttered and messy, rendering the audience unable to differentiate one character from another, but instead it appears as a cluttered mess of metallic gray moving parts on screen. Character development is nearly non-existent and the few examples we do get, never add up to anything, nor are they resolved are resolved in the end. The human characters only serve as either eye candy or a punch line to a poorly written joke. The jokes, as well, are juvenile and unnecessary at times, some of which are even at random, in a pathetic attempt to get a cheap laugh out of the audience. Most importantly, they are not funny in the least; they serve only to create an awkward silence lacking any humor whatsoever. The actors in the movie are either overacting beyond comprehension or just blandly read their lines to collect their paycheck at the end of the day. This movie not only proves the faults of the filmmakers involved in this project, but also the current flaws with of the today's film industry as a whole.
