Good sequel and definitely worth watching

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2009)

I have to say I really enjoyed this film, it was much better than I'd originally thought it would be and didn't disappoint in all the things that mattered.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen first and foremost is an action film, don't expect an in depth look into the human psyche or the most thought provoking script of 2009, because (a) these would have ruined the film and (b), your going to see a film about giant transforming robots. The "humans capability of good and evil" is thrown in on occasion but nothing over powering, for which I'm thankful. The story of this film ties in really well with the first film, all of the events are plausible and keep into the original idea presented in Transformers 1. This film also succeeded in giving each of the Transformers their own personalities and their own sense of humour instead of just depending on big metal robots breaking stuff to carry the film through. Transformers 2 also managed to easily show the characters want for normality, instead of portraying them as heroes waiting to save the planet.
Annoyingly the government officials were portrayed as incompetent (more than usual that is) but that's only a minor point. There were some pieces (especially a part towards the end) that I thought were just a bit too cheesy and recycled, like the obsession with the dogs, seriously its just not funny....
In summary: Good: plot, actors, graphics, fights scenes, humour. Bad: some bits were unoriginal, probably lasted a bit too long.
