Expensive, Explosive, Enourmously Rubbish, 13 June 2009
I got to be part of the first screening in the world showing the final cut and I thought that would be brilliant however I was not expecting to be the first person in the world to witness a highly anticipated failure. This was the general concensus when talking to people after the movie. The start of the movie seemed to show the same elements from the first one such as the comedy within the family which was good however as the film goes on the comedy can almost be described as slap stick. In fact it is the very over used comedy but stopped me from actually being bored by the action ironically.
The movie is very long and the explosions were amazing but at one point I wanted them just to sit down and start talking. I felt that the movie became more of an indiana jones movie which ironically they went to the same location as the third Indiana Jones which was probably some Spielberg influence. The performances was good however, their were some awkward Shia performances which you will see when u view the movie. Megan Fox as always was looking amazing, but her character was very much under used and her role became more of a photo shoot with Micheal Bay using camera angles to highlight her beauty which is not that bad but does not make the movie that great. Again I'm trying to justify to you why I thought this blockbuster was such a disappointment.
The story felt like it was made up on the spot. As if the writers were winging it and therefore made the whole film feel ridiculous. I felt the story did not have to be so complicated and would have been much better if made simpilar. The dialogue throughout the movie was very hard to hear and this was reinforced by this same statement being said by many of those at the premiere.
One man said at the end of the movie that "thank god it was CGI based movie because otherwise it would have nothing going for it." I do hope you do see it in the cinema because I do not believe this movie should be seen any other way, but I was surprised that at points of the movie that my eyes glazed over because of how boring some scenes were. At points I could not believe some scenes were happening.
Anyway this my opinion let me know what u think of the movie.

The Autobots, the Decepticons, Shia LaBeouf's reluctant hero, Megan Fox's sultry partner in saving the world, the explosions, the explosions and the explosions — yes, Michael Bay's shape-shifting robot extravaganza, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," is almost here.
Almost. The sequel to 2007's $700 million blockbuster won't rumble into theaters until Wednesday, June 24. But fans in the United Kingdom will get a chance to take in the spectacle five days early, and as such, reviews of the movie have been popping up across the pond. What do they tell us about the story, the characters, the Transformers and, of course, the explosions? Check out our breakdown below. While we've keep the spoilers to a minimum, if you don't want to know anything about the film, proceed with caution.
The Story
With all these reviews out there, you could certainly learn the entire plot before getting a chance to see the movie, but where's the fun in that? So, we'll just relay the setup:
"Autobots and the U.S. military have united to form NEST, an elite unit dedicated to wiping out Decepticons," according to Empire's review. "But when they catch a rogue 'bot in Shanghai, it warns that something very bad is heading for Earth: a diabolical entity known as 'The Fallen.' "
What about LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky, who's now a new college student? He finds "a sliver of the all-powerful All-Spark in his hoodie," SciFiNow writes. "The alien device then uploads secret coordinates into his brain, which subsequently puts him and the Autobots at the centre of another race against time to stop the Decepticons having their way with the world."
And IGN notes a non-spoilery scene that is too delicious not to mention: "One hilarious set-piece that sees his mother accidently eat a chunk of marijuana on Sam's first day at college had the audience in stitches, and confirms Mr. and Mrs. Witwicky as the two most likable characters in the franchise."
The Spectacle
All the reviews couldn't fail to mention the immense size and scope of the sequel. IGN notes that "Revenge" delivers "more lingering tracking shots, cleaner environments and establishing framing. [Bay is] undoubtedly helped by what we're sure is a truly astronomical special effects budget, which sees the denizens of [robot home planet] Cybertron — at the request of fans — given far more screen time than before. He can simply afford to show more 'bots this time around."
"The extended metal-on-metal punch-ups are cartoonish but, thanks to the game-raising CGI, utterly convincing," Total Film writes.
But how does the film compare to other summer blockbusters? "In terms of explosions, firepower and sheer shrill, all-action, popcorn entertainment, it is hard to see how this big'n'bold sequel can be topped this year," The Mirror writes.
Might it outflank the original? That's an affirmative, according to the reviewer for News of the World, who goes so far as to say, "It's bigger. Badder. Boobier. And many other words beginning with B, including boneheadedly brilliant."
The Robots
As the reviewer for declares, the real stars of the film are the 'bots. "Optimus Prime is just as cool here as you'd always hoped — his twin-sword showdown with three Decepticons is the kind of kick-ass fight scene that'll make even the hairs on the back of non-fans' necks stand on end," says the Web site. "Bumblebee gets a few chances to shine and is perhaps the best example of having a CG alien robot 'emote' — tellingly, of course, he speaks no actual words.
"Devastator — the 120-foot-high beast made from seven separate Constructicons — though technically astounding, is criminally underused: You can see the money burning every second he's on screen," adds the site.
Bay on Bay
Total Film picks up on an interesting bit of cross-promotional work going on throughout the film: " 'Pearl Harbor' ship sinking, 'Armageddon' metropolis destruction and a 'Bad Boys II' promo on Sam's dorm room wall. But fans of The Bayhem will have their eyes on another poster in Sam's room — the 'Cloverfield' one-sheet, which betrays the glory at the heart of the flick. It's a thrill-ride, plain and simple. And it delivers."
