TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN Movie Review
Director: Michael Bay
Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson
One of the most anticipated movie of the year 2009 is the sequel to Michael Bay’s adaption of the 80’s cartoon Transformers. The first movie had many flaws but sported some great special effects and a likable lead character. My main complaint about the first movie is that there was way too many human characters, therefore taking away from focus on enough of the robot characters. Unfortunately with this sequel we get more human nonsense.
Yes, the Autobots and Decepticons have more screen time but that’s only because the runtime checks in around a tiring 150 minutes. The problems with the first one are expanded on in this outing. More stupid characters and corny lines fit into this lengthy film. Understand I am a fan of the cartoon and I realize that a movie based on an 80’s cartoon isn’t going for Oscar-worthy performances or a plot that has to always make a whole lot of sense, but I feel insulted after leaving the theater.
I need more then just loud noises and some great special effects in my movie. Even the action is drawn out with Bay’s sweeping camera shots and slow motion. Characters appear and disappear when needed. Another problem is that the humor is hardly ever funny and crude at that. All these factors get old very quick. It’s not too often that I look at my watch hoping for an ending in a movie, but I did during this film.
Aside from an action sequence in the woods featuring Optimus Prime, I can’t say there was much I liked about this movie at all. This mess is one to avoid.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, language, some crude and sexual material, and brief drug material.
Runtime: 150 mins
