Ha! 'Haters', Eh?

Rating: 2/10 (29 June 2009)

This movie, more or less, was a waste of a decent popcorn-fodder film. It was disjointed, sophomoric and should not have been able to receive a 'PG-13' rating from the MPAA.
Bay clearly has a fondness for our Military, and for that, I am thankful. And there were a few interesting moments on the outset of the film, but they were quickly overshadowed by oversexed college students, silly, sophomoric humor that was all but devoid of taste, and sub-par writing delivered by even worse 'acting'. Bay knows how to blow crap up, and do it well. But wow, did he drop the ball with this one.
The silly thing is that one even has to say these things about a film like this. It's a movie about giant robots from a planet called Cybertron. One should not even have to comment on a film like this in such a way. That's what makes the film such a sad state on the affairs of Hollywood today. That one has to point out the crude, tasteless, pointless film-making of a movie about a Hasbro toy.
Hollywood, shame on you for making a film that should be fun and a nice escape into something that any sane parent with half of a brain will have to seriously consider (and I hope, decide against) whether or not to take their children (13 and up) to see.
I'd rant about the film more. But really, do I have to? I think anyone thinking clearly could understand within minutes that 'Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen' was not only a waste of time, but a waste of a fun idea.
Too bad.
