Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

One of the most popular, thrill-packed, franchises of all time is back with even more action and more Autobots and Decepticons! In the highly anticipated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to product humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That’s an exact classification of director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox’s hotness to the max. As if she weren’t enough, a new sex kitten (

    My first piece of advice: If you want an well balanced assessment of the quality of this movie, just go straight to “more 1-star ratings.” They will tell you everything you need to know.

    But I’ll say one thing most of the others didn’t. The worst things about this movie were:

    1. Michael Bay

    2. Roberto Orci

    3. Alex Kurtzman

    4. Ehren Kruger

    You can’t have a good movie without a good director and a good script. And both were, as others put it, an epic fail in this case. I blame the writers as well as the director, though the director gets a bigger share. All should have been fired before the movie even started filming. For why, see the first Transformers film they made. The only excuse executives have for keeping them on is the money the first film made. Unfortunately, they’re looking at the dollar signs from the second as justification for keeping Mr. Bay employed. They failed to notice that a huge number of people who watched the first film hated it so much that there is little chance the third will be as successful. I can only hope it bombs so bad they’ll be forced to let someone else take over the movie franchise.

    There are a fair number of capable actors in the film. But none of them were put to good use. Even Peter Cullen had to utter some horrible lines like, “Give me your face” and other such nonsense. He made it sound as good as it could, but it still sounds stupid.

    As far as the visuals are concerned, they were totally inconsistent with even the first film, nevermind the premise of Transformers. In the first film, a robot did not constantly have little pieces flying off whenever it got hit. In this one, the slightest touch and pieces of CG metal and glass went everywhere. Because of this, while in the first film the robots appeared powerful and untouchable, in the second they looked like flimsy science projects gone wrong, then put through a blender. So, despite the enormous budget, even the special effects were enormously disappointing–and that’s compared to the first, which already lowered the standards so far I wasn’t expecting to get much out of the robot action scenes.

    Since everyone else is commenting on it, I’ll just say characters like Megan Fox’s and Isabel Lucas’s are so unimportant that their inclusion is nothing more than yet another tasteless departure from good moviemaking. I have nothing against the actresses, but their part essentially amounted to a few shots of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue being spliced into an bad student film. It’s just another annoying distraction that has nothing to do with what made the original Transformers characters and stories great.

    As an aside, at least if you purchased the Bumblebee transforming case edition, you got a transformable case out of it. But for the disc itself, I recommend using it as a drink coaster. (A guest can use the special features disc for their drink.) You’ll get much more enjoyment out of it that way.

    These movies T1/ T2ROF not only have satisfied the majority of G1 fans but has captivated todays generation converting the all of he POWER RANGER,etc fans AGES 4 to 15 into what I call the Transformers G2 era that has doubled since the making of T1.

    Most important is the overall message of good when it comes to these characters.

    ALL CENTIAN BEING HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM.

    So keep in mind that even if Optimus dies because he fights for the weak and Megatron looks is bigger and meaner and that the autobots are totally out numbered the out come will always be the same.

    After hard work and sacrifice good will always provail.

    This is the only message that really matters to me and knowing that my Children experienced the “same” out come

    Make this movie an overall winner.

    Great movie,awesome effects,best universal message for our children,And really getting to see OPTIMUS PRIME KICK SOME PRIME ASS.
