It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

An abomination of a movie even by the standards of the series, Transformers: ROTF is a joke of a movie bestowed upon us by Michael Bay. Everything that happens on the screen is so blurry and confusing you never know who is fighting who, or for that matter who is who. All the actors from the previous installment are on hand to collect a paycheck for acting in front of a bluescreen. At least the earlier film made some sense. This is an abomination. Avoid.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was a movie, even as a young lad I found overly long and tiresome. All the flaws that the first movie had were magnified with more shouty characters, stereotypes, sexual innuendos, voyeurism and excessive action. The first had a simple blockbuster plot, whereas this movie has so many plot threads and moves at such a fast pace it's confusing. There's also an overload of comic relief which is funny at times but loses its impact as the movie goes along. However it isn't an irredeemable picture since the spectacular effects and sound design are all top notch as always. Even in the first movie I found the action scenes hard to follow since its often shot in medium/close-up instead of a nice wide shot showing off the giant robots. For once there's a fight shot in wide between Optimus Prime and Megatron before Optimus dies, only to be resurrected later for the plot's convenience. Transformers was like the male variant of Twilight, they were both commercial franchise that appealed to certain gender desires. Twilight depicted the female fantasy of a man saving them in the most dire situations. Whereas Transformers showcased the male fantasies of beautiful scantily clad women loving a dorky lad for no apparent reason and of course action and explosions galore.Now I don't believe Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one of the worst movies ever, I've seen plenty of schlock to know what a truly terrible movie entails. However, this was definitely a downgrade from the first, which in retrospect wasn't all that great either. It was more of the same garbage in the first on a larger scale.

Movie Review: "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" (2009)Here comes another 200 Million Dollar production, just short of the year 2009 top spot in terms of production costs with "Avatar" estimately needed 30 Million Dollar more to complete post-production. The opening shots are high quality 17,000 BC African-Natives advertising, and a new decepticon called "The Fallen", even superior over "Megatron", but somehow blocked-out razor-sharp teeth to its mouth, rises from the dark of a cave to use the "Matrix of Leadership" toward new world dominion, which makes me curious for the 135 Minutes to come. Then I witness scene after scene that Director Michael Bay does not make full use of the given standards in this mystically "Transformers" (2007) succeeding script by Ehren Kruger and further polishes by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman, instead putting his focus again on high-profile military shots that certainly have key properties to the picture, yet somehow needed to be updated to give the "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" a futuristic science-fiction touch-up in order to exceed its predecessor.The sizes of the sequel are any way bigger, when 60-feet-high decepticon "Demolishor" get chased through the city of Shanghai by an alliance between autobots and military special forces, before "Optimus Prime" arrives and sets out for the kill. The editorial comes along faster in pace and faster in dialogues, when the live-action protagonist Sam Witwicky, portrayed by character-reprising actor Shia LeBeouf, arrives on the scene, out of highschool, ready for college, calling his girlfriend Mikaela Banes, cool and relaxed appearing actress Megan Fox, sharing again a couple of chemistry-approving LeBeouf without reaching the ease of being an united couple from their 2007 first collaboration. Military characters Lennox & Epps, performed by actors Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson respectively, do not get any significant screen-time at all, unless they is some decepticon to shoot at. Some transformation shots set new standards, especially the few seconds of an appearance of the massive size of up to ten construction vehicles assembling "Devastator" at roundabout 110 minutes into the movie, while Sam, Mikaela and family supported by human special forces fight an unorganized bunch of decepticons with the Fallen as unidentifiable leader, who clearly does not need to struggle for any power to use "The Matrix" in order to improve some of the suspense-fall-outs, in some completely unsophisticated Egyptian ruin village exterior location, which after 5 Minutes time into the showdown becomes tiresome under the constant light of a mid-day desert sun.The production value of the high-end budget shows off with U.S. army properties as Black Hawks, Apaches helicopters flying, live-action ocean tankers on sea plus an underwater submarine-bouncing action scene with "Megatron" ascending from the bottom of the sea. Even the reprising character of former Section-7-Agent Simmons, with seemingly drugs-accelerated high-profile slapstick sharing actor John Turturro, improves the entertainment levels at moments of comic interludes, especially in collaboration with actor Shia LaBeouf. Even some magnificent executed scenes as the "Ravage Base Attack" night exterior with following "Reedman" (super-thin, razor-sharp transformer) infiltrating, cannot save "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" being leagues behind its potential of being superior science-fiction action entertainment as then six months later in December of 2009 "Avatar" directed by James Cameron proved to be.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. I is very fast past. 6 is a good ratting. But this is such are movie that 6 is underrating. The first movie of Transformers is better. Transformers dark of the moon is better. Transformers age of extinction is also better. Transformers the the last knight is also better. But still this a great movie. It is not a 6 it is an 8. See this movie. It is a lot better then V for vendetta. If you like science fiction movies or action movies. Then you will like this movie. It is better then Batman the movie (1966). And that is not easy to do. This is one great movie.
