Just Plain Terrible

Rating: 3/10 (14 July 2018)

This film rightfully deserves it's rating of 3 - Garbage. Because that's all it is and ever will be.
In a nutshell, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a victim of many things: the 2007/2008 'Writer's Strike', that resulted in the film's incoherent plot. It's also a victim of Michael Bay's obnoxious humour, that is crammed into this movie, and a victim of Michael's signature plain cringey moments that permeate this film to the core.
It's also a victim of Michael Bay's terrible oversexualisation, that also permeates most of his films.
Those things drag this film down to the terrible state it's in. But there are some good things about this film. The Forest Battle is excellent and is the best action scene in all the Bayformers films, ironically. And the CGI is very good, just as good as Jablonsky's epic score for this film.
But these things don't save this steaming pile of garbage.
Don't see this film unless you want to appreciate good movies even more because of it.
