I did see this in theaters before and I thought it's better than the first one then years later present day I found it to be very lazy like lazy written, crappy story, some stale acting and bad plot. Spider- Man 2 (2004) was a superior sequel compare to this film. This is the time the director really need to be replace.Score: 2.5/10
... View MoreAfter a prosperous success of the very first Transformers, only the awareness of 2 years a brand new sequel comes arrives. Although, the outcome has been drastically different from its hype and anticipation. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen is one of the most disappointing and downgrading sequels regarding its surprisingly satisfying predecessor. Man, I don't know where to begin As expected, this action flick takes risks on clinching the wrong features the fans refusal, do not want. Due to the writer's strike involved behind the writers, the script was urgently required as the filming began so quickly. As a result, the plot of Revenge of The Fallen is an utter mess and disconcerting. Sam (Shia LaBeouf) gets the opportunity to move into college but a small slither of 'The Cube' affects him as he sees visions of the Transformers symbols that lead to a tomb made of the ancient Primes in order to protect 'The Matrix' that can awake Optimus Prime from his death to save Earth from a pending threat enforced by The Fallen and the Decepticons. First of all, the plot seems as if a 12-year-old thought of it. Second, the main portions of the plot is a misfire and nonsense. In the first film, Sam held the entire Cube running around for hours. In this movie, a tiny piece affects him as he holds it for only a second. It betrays the previous film's plot notably obvious. In addition, the film's first hour is vastly useless and uninteresting. Audiences and fans do not give a crap about Sam's college, his girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox) relationship, his irritating roommate with a messed up hair and the military/government conspiracy. As a consequence, the awesome Transformers feature in this movie for about 30 minutes in a 150-minute runtime. Additionally, Revenge of The Fallen contains some of the most idiotic nonsense dialogue spoken and too much focus viewpoints of the military and government. By far the most offensive aspect is this film includes way more immature humor like sexual references, racist jokes, and stereotypes, and awkward jokes that attempt at being funny when it shouldn't. For a 150 minute film, it should keep the audiences invested or somewhat of entertaining enjoyment to track attention but this film fails at the terribly constructed storytelling, the pacing, and the editing issues, and too much centralizing the humans instead of the transformers but still lacks a human emotional touch. As a result, it is boring Disregarding it's redeeming quality issues, Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen has some frantic impressive visual effects that look very realistic. Furthermore, the forest battle between Optimus Prime and the Decepticons are certainly entertaining to watch. Also, Devastator's transformation is largely cool and enjoyable. This action flick has some exciting entertaining sequences and contains solid eye candy visuals. The acting, especially from Megan Fox, has improved over the latest film (but she is still bad) but most are just adequately serviceable. Overall, Transformers Revenge of The Fallen is a downgrading, disappointing, and majorly unsatisfying sequel. Surely, it has stunning visual effects, some truly entertaining moments, and exhilarating eye candy. Nevertheless, in the long run, it sums up as a noisy, under plotted, and overlong giant clamorous extravaganza which completely misses what fans want. Grade: D+
... View MoreThe Transformers return for a lackluster, poorly written sequel that still has some stunning visuals. The Michael Bay-directed film operates off the premise that the Transformers had come to Earth long ago. In the present, an elite military squad called NEST led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and Sargeant Epps (Tyrese Gibson) works with the Autobots to hunt Decepticons. In a destructive battle in Shanghai, Optimus Prime takes down a Decepticon but receives a warning of the Fallen. As Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) readies for college, he discovers a sliver of the Allspark cube that brings household appliance to life and destroys his parents', Ron (Kevin Dunn) and Judy (Julie White), house. Sam has to leave his transformer car Bumblebee behind and say goodbye to Mikaela (Megan Fox) as they start a long distance relationship. He gives her the cube sliver as he departs. The government wants to shut down the Autobots just as the Decepticons plan to revive Megatron. At college, Sam tries to cover up his strange past as he meets his crazy roommate Leo (Ramon Rodriguez). Judy gets high on pot brownies in a moment of humor. Sam starts seeing symbols, an effect from handling the sliver and finds a girl Alice (Isabel Lucas) has taken an interest in him. Bumblebee shows up to take him to Optimus who warns him of a coming war. Sam continues to have strange visions and discovers Alice is a Decepticon just as Mikaela shows up to see him making out with her. Resurrected, Megatron confers with the Fallen and catches Sam to have a microscope transformer probe his brain in search of a source of Energon.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
