Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

An abomination of a movie even by the standards of the series, Transformers: ROTF is a joke of a movie bestowed upon us by Michael Bay. Everything that happens on the screen is so blurry and confusing you never know who is fighting who, or for that matter who is who. All the actors from the previous installment are on hand to collect a paycheck for acting in front of a bluescreen. At least the earlier film made some sense. This is an abomination. Avoid.

(SPOILER ALERT) I love the second film of the Transformers series! A great continuation from the first film! Great action, drama, and story. Well put together from director Michael Bay! What was great about Revenge of the Fallen is that Optimus Prime and the fellow autobots unite with a strike team called nest to take down all remaining decepticons. Therefore some decepticons remained hiding to track down their leader Megatron! Who rises from the dead to kill the last of the primes (Optimus Prime) so the Fallen will rise to destroy earth's sun.

After 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+
