Review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) by Kurtb — 24 Jun 2009

This movie from start to finish was the most god-awful thing I've ever seen in my entire life. We had some good action, but when it really came down to it, ROTF fell way short of it's predecessor.

I'll break it down into plus and minuses. + More Transformers + More action sequences full of ridiculous explosions + Optimus Prime finally does something Now for the minuses. -Horribly racist transformers (the twins) -Worst love story in the history of movies -Dumb side-character who gets picked up and doesn't shut up the entire movie -Toilet humor.

.. Really? Did we need more of that? -Certain transformers get way too much screen time -Sam screams "BUMBLEBEE!" and "OPTIMUS!" The entire movie -Worst plot devices ever used. -At one point Sam's hand gets magically bandaged and there's no explanation behind it.

-Horrible Dialogue, and terrible story. As you can see, there are way too many minuses. I left A LOT out, but hey, don't take my word for it. I didn't buy any stock in what review after review had warned me about.

I saw it, and this is one time I do agree with critics. If you want to have your mind numbed and your ear drums blown, then by all means this is the movie for you. If you can't sit through 2:40 minutes of nothing happening (except in the middle and end of the movie), and want something more, then skip this terrible excuse for anything resembling a movie.

I'd rather watch Wolverine again.
