“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” Movie Review
This weekend, I took one for the team. Am I a hero? No. Am I a saint? No. What I am, though, is now partially deaf after having been both visually and audibly attacked by “director” Michael Bay’s latest abortion, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”.
I realize that those are strong words, but let me explain myself: I’m one of the few people I know that will admit to having enjoyed the first “Transformers” movie a couple of years ago. I went into it expecting to be entertained by giant fighting robots and I was not disappointed. When I heard that a sequel was on the horizon I thought, “yeah! More, even bigger robots fighting!”.
Be careful what you wish for.
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is the stupidest, loudest and most ridiculous of any popcorn flick that you are likely to ever experience. To it’s credit, this “movie” (if you can actually call it that) actually manages to insult, offend and assault the viewer all at the same time. I won’t go over the plot here for you since there isn’t one. Suffice to say stuff happens, robots fight, Shia (Rough) Labeouf yells and runs around a lot and Megan Fox provides eye candy. The only good parts of this movie are the aforementioned robot fight scenes, but they are so quick and convoluted that it is difficult to keep track of who’s fighting who or tearing who’s robot head off.
If you wanted to see this movie, my words here aren’t going to stop you. Likely you were among the millions of people (like me) that contributed to this eyesores behemoth opening weekend. What I’m hoping for, though, is to maybe get through to that one person who was on the fence about whether to see it or not. Please, for your own sake and your sanity, DON’T! When Michael bay has done so many explosions that he’s tired himself out (which he stated in recent interviews that he will not be doing any more sequels or “action” movies for a while), then you know that there’s something wrong here.
Stay home. Read a book. Go play outside or go for a swim. This movie has already wasted hours and hours of people’s lives already. I’m through talking about it.
