Revenge of The Fallen Asleep

Rating: 4/10 (22 July 2009)

Don't believe the hype. What I was hoping would be the movie of the summer ended up being one of the worst I've seen so far this year. Michael Bay is a beast of a director, don't get me wrong, but I have lost some respect for him after seeing TF2 (Please lets spin around Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox ONE MORE TIME!!!). The first Transformers actually showed that Michael Bay can make a damn good movie, it had the perfect combination of live action and CGI. While filming the sequel he must have forgotten that movies are made with a camera, not a computer as the special effects, while stunning, are overcrowded and overdone.
When the movie began I thought it would be much like the first in its style and greatness, but that ended very quickly. After suffering through about an hour of non-stop tasteless jokes, the action really started going, and going, and going. There were so many robots and subplots being thrown around that it was hard to keep track of who was who and what they were doing. I had a better time watching the fallen asleep surrounding me in the theater than I did watching the fallen in the movie.
The worst part about it is that this movie is going to do well, simply because the original was so amazing, and everyone is hoping to see something as good. But the only thing that is as good as it was in the first is Megan Fox... hot damn.
