This ain't David Lean people, this is Transformers

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2009)

Michael Bay has finally found what was missing in all his other movies. He had the explosions. He had the military guys. He had the hugging and kissing shots of perfect looking people with the sun flare behind them.
But now he has giant robots shooting freaking laser beams at each other. His vision is complete.
Now I've read reviews and some of the criticisms are valid and others are just out of the park garbage. Its a miracle a movie series has been made of what was essentially a string of toy commercials. And I dare you to fire up an old episode of the series and tell me if any of what happens on screen makes any sense at all. Also, by simply buying a ticket to a movie called "transformers" you are preventing yourself from making any dramatic criticisms of this type of movie. It's like saying a roller-coaster is too bumpy. This isn't opera people. Revenge of the Fallen isn't art. This is a mega-budget B movie pornography of computer generated robot war. And its damn good at it too.
Was the story more thought out in the first movie? Yep. Does it run too long? Absolutely. Are some of the stereotypes out of place? Probably.
But Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was loud, vicious fun, very entertaining and I will be happy to line up and see it again.
