Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen


TRANSFORMERS 2: Revenge of the Fallen

It's been said that Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen will be the first $400 Million movie to have an overwhelming negative review by critics. After watching the movie, I can honestly say that I think these critics need to learn to see a movie for what it is and stop thinking that if it's not an Oscar-type film, it's worthless.

If you're expecting an oscar nominated film then I don't suggest you watch this movie. But if you're like the typical Transformers fan - you'll love it. From robots to action to comedy and a decent storyline, this is one movie that won't disappoint.

The first movie was pretty funny but it was as if the producers went out of their way to make this one even funnier. This first hour was virtually all comedy while slowly introducing the storyline. Understandably, this is where most of the criticism comes in. The movie was two and a half hours long and for some people it's just too long. I agree that they could have shortened it quite a bit but honestly, I thought it flowed well and kept me entertained the entire time.

I was intrigued by how the producers would incorporate Shia LaBeouf's arm injury. During the filming of the movie, he was involved in a pretty nasty car accident and injured his arm. I thought producers did a bang up job in working that into the storyline.

If you liked the first movie, you'll most likely enjoy this one as well. Just remember that when you go in to see it - expect explosions, action, and fighting robots. If you're cool with that, you're cool with this movie.
