The worst sequel (and in general) film I have ever seen.

Rating: 1/10 (6 October 2009)

At last it's great to know that I'm not the only person who thinks Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a terrible movie. Those who previewed this film as awful or close to it actually have sense whilst those who loved it...well that's your choice.
Micheal Bay as it goes for an incompetent director has to be one of the worst. Despite the overwhelming evidence from fans of the first film, action fans or just anyone else who happened too see this on this website that this sequel is utterly crap and that it was a flop with film critics. Bay says he dosen't care what anyone else thinks.
This attitude he has displayed reveals everything about his character and the way this film has been portrayed.This sequel has made millions and has become one of the summer's biggest hits but it shouldn't be.
The first one was brilliant with a clear story, decent enough acting with character development and a chance to see what was happening on screen. One big problem being the first of many is that target market the demographics are aiming is contradictory.
For example Bay has claimed this is a family film, yet it's full of sexual innuendo like a small bot humping Megan Foxes leg, a female in disguise as a Decepticon if that is the right name has a tail come out of her arse and Fox herself with her boobs swaying as she runs.
And this is meant to be for teenagers? Frankly it's degrading, insulting in particular for women and downright shallow, which brings me to this film's second cock up no character development.
The script is a sham Megan Fox has nothing to say or do apart from running away from pointless explosions except to be a piece of eye candy. Whilst Shia LaBeouf who made the most of his part and whose acting was solid enough was stuck between a rock and a hard place. There was no chemistry between him and Fox. The idea when he says he loves her was nauseating. Meanwhile all the other characters like Sam Witwicky's parent's and the auto-bots including two sidekicks were there to provide comic relief unfortunately all they gave me was one massive headache and feelings total frustration with old, recycled and lame jokes.
And don't even get me started with the camera-work, all over the place. Action sequences are meant to be entertaining but it's impossible to enjoy if you can't see what's going on, bots stomping about and explosions not knowing what bot was on whose side as I just didn't care.
The editing is atrocious of where Fox arrives in Egypt likes she's in Paris one moment and bang she's now in Egypt as were several other parts which I can't be bothered to go into.
The plot though thin in itself and very simple just dragged on forever making this two and a half hours, it was barely tolerable after the first hour.
In th end Bay comes off to me as an arrogant man who just loves to make money. He shouldn't be allowed to make movies and I was astounded to learn that Steven Spielburg even took part in this film! Bay must have drugged him.
In the end I just came out extremely disappointed and frustrated with one big headache. Now wheres the paracetamol?
