Revenge of the Fallen Is probably the Biggest Movie of the Summer

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2009)

Well, the first thing one must realize when going to see this movie is that it's Transformers, big robots fighting other big robots on our planet. It's NOT going to have the best acting *cough* Megan Fox *cough* and it's NOT going to have the most recognizable plot. It IS going to have mind-blowing action scenes, CGI, special effects, explosions, and incredibly hot slow-mo scenes of a extremely attractive woman *cough* Megan Fox *cough* running from said explosions.
Of course, the INCREDIBLY realistic effects (especially the sound, the sound in this movie was epic) can only compensate for so much. There are some scenes where you squirm in your seat because of the cheesiness, or maybe leave you wondering "Am I really the only one who's able to see that, where's the military, where are the Autobots?" or "Hey Mike, can you zoom out a little and stop spinning so much, I'm getting motion-sickness" But these feelings are soon forgotten in an impressive display of big robots beating the crap out of bigger robots while our mere human race scurries underneath the destruction of our most esteemed architectural achievements.
Personally, I thought Revenge of the Fallen was better than the first, but it is definitely debatable. In the first movie, with new perspective of Fallen, it seemed everything was held back a little. I mean, when you're making a two hour live action movie from a set of toy action figures, you want to test the waters first, but the success of the first movie is what made this one so good. Michael Bay and the producing staff or whatever went all out, on everything. Sam's parents are crazier and more lovable than before, Megan Fox's acting HAS improved, it's funnier, and there's at least twice as many fighting scenes done at least twice as well as in the first Bay production of Transformers.
Overall, this is definitely the movie to see this summer if you don't see anything else. It has everything: action, explosions, hotness, comedy (personally, I loved the twins), explosions, hotness, romance, action, sentimental moments, and above all, giant robots blowing sh*t up. Don't be deterred by the 2 1/2 hour run-time, because if it were any shorter, this movie would seem like it was over too soon. Albeit, I'm a 16 year old male, so my opinion may be a little biased to say the least, but Michael Bay was the perfect man to make this film happen, and it will leave everyone who goes to see it walking out happy.
