Terrible script, editing and plot, incredible action

Rating: 4/10 (7 July 2009)

I knew what to expect when I went to Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen, amazing special effects and action, poor screenplay.
What I didn't expect was the level of stupidity of this movie. The editing is terrible, so many scenes out of context you just grab your head and say "WTF is going on?!??!" .
the jokes are terrible, those twins, my god they are so annoying!! they just wouldn't shut up..just talk more and more and more.I don't know what the writers thought about when coming up with those 2 characters. The stereotypes of those to robots, so help me god, and that robot doctor with the German accent, what were they thinking??
Sam's mom. I just don't know where to start...the writers got the impression that on the first movie she like "stole the show", so they said to themselves "Hey, why not give her more stupid and unnecessary scenes?!" She just talks so much! every scene the writers just had to give her as many lines as possible, with many jokes as possible. The Brownie scene for example...what is that has to do with anything?!
I can't remember a movie with so many plot holes..it's unbelievable. A border passage between Egypt and Jordan?! WHERE IS ISRAEL?!?! Sam landing in the desert, holding his broken hand..next shot it's all nicely under cast and bandages...Sam briefly dies and goes to Robot Heaven. Robot Heaven?!?! Why do we have to see John Turturro's thong??? I can go on and on and on...
The length...this movie easily could be narrowed down to 120 mins exactly...but since director Bay likes slow motions and unnecessary scenes...there's not much to do.
The amount of robots is ridiculous..I wish they give SideSwipe more scenes cause he's transformation in the opening scene is AWESOME!!!!! there's enough stuff here for a third movie...
THANK GOD for the special effects...there are some truly amazing moments in this movie, although due to poor camera work and editing sometimes it's hard to figure out who's fighting who, scenes like The Forest Battle is a standout in the movie...a truly jaw dropping scene, Optimus Prime with two swords is one of the coolest things i ever saw and by far the best scene in the movie. Sam's psychotic attack in the classroom was brilliant and intense, but another thing that bugged is that no one seemed to care that he is acting like that and the class just went on as usual. That dog robot "Ravage" arrival, to see him running and jumping is spectacular, with those tiny balls piling up creating that thin robot, amazing. Again, this movie has great moments.
I recommend watching this movie only for the SPECIAL EFFECTS. the CGI is a wonder to be hold..and so does Megan Fox. So hot it's a crime.
As for the 3rd movie, I'm wondering how could they surpass this movie in terms of bigness. Cause this movie is unbelievably HUGE.
They have to take a break with this franchise. aim for like a 2012-2013 summer release and do something about the editing the script, and the director, cause Bay is a child.
And try to make it more serious for god sake.
