Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Screen Rant reviewsTransformers : Revenge of the Fallen
even proofreader here atScreen Rantare familiar with my disdain forthe firstTranformersmovie . While many agree with me and others disagree vehemently - both sides have been have a bun in the oven me to spit Michael Bay’sTranformers 2 . I did n’t go in expecting much , and that may have actually stimulate me to not judge itquiteas raspingly as a lot of other reviewer are doing .
The ( very thin ) story here is that of Sam ( Shia Lebouf ) lead off to college , trying to go back to a likeness of a normal life - where you do n’t have giant , tattle robots that turn into coolheaded railroad car . He ’ll be leaving behind tough biker chick Michaela ( Megan Fox ) but they ’ll proceed a retentive aloofness family relationship through the wonders of the internet .
Before Sam go away , he get a line a fragment of the " All Spark " is still in his possession - when he touches it , it has some sorting of effect on him and is show to still have the force to animate mechanically skillful objects . Thinking he has it safely secured , Sam heads off to college where he meet his roommate Leo ( Ramon Rodriguez ) , a cat who runs a internet site dedicate to robot sightings which is not almost as democratic as he imagines it to be .
It turn out the Autobots have been working with the government trying to track down the vestiges of the Decepticon robots that are still on Earth . It look like the Decepticons have been searching for something , but no one ( not even the Autobots ) cognise what that might be .
Of of course the last thing that will happen to Sam is a " normal " college experience , and he is soon drawn back into the world of the Transformers . He ’s connect by his reluctant roommate Leo and of course before long enough by Michaela and the buffoonish ( now ex ) administration agent from the first film , Simmons ( John Turturro ) .
From here the whole point is to stop the Decepticons ( led by the ancient robot called " The Fallen " ) from getting their claws on a equipment that is of course a danger to all of human race .
And it takes a really , really tenacious time .
InRevenge of the Fallenthere ’s more of everything that was in the first film : More robot , more explosions , more soldier , more conflict scenes , more jejune ( and inappropriate for kids ) wittiness and more dirty language .
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the second film in the Transformers franchise. It follows Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) as he continues to help the Autobots in their ongoing war against the evil Decepticons. Sam learns of an ancient Decepticon known as the Fallen, who plans to eradicate all human life using an energon source from the planet Cybertron.
In the end it does n’t make this film any well than the first one - it just make it feel longer . I was surprised to learn that this film is only 6 minutes longer than the first one … it feels a heap longer than that . Thirty to forty min could have been cut passably easy - it ’s a moving-picture show about giant robot battles , does it take to be two hours and twenty arcminute long ? Even the scenes most multitude go to see , the engagement scenes , drag on on far too long .
So what was honest ? I liked the scene involving the war machine , great stuff . I liked that Bay pulled back the cameras on the robot battles so you may in reality separate what ’s materialize ( although the shots were too tight once again at the close of the flick ) - and about the best golem combat took position in the timber . Not " awesome " but probably the good affair in the film .
On the bright side , I actually like Kevin Dunn as Sam ’s pappa in this one , although the mom irritate the heck out of me again . by from the " humor " I ’ll describe below , I thoughtsomeof it was actually OK - even Turturro was n’t quite as annoying . The CGI was excellent , although at this full stop for a picture show like this that should be a given .
What was n’t so well ? Well , beyond " everything else , " a big favorite peeve of mine about the first moving-picture show was the adolescent wit that I did n’t think fit with the action . In the sequel , most of the " humor " happens during the first third of the motion-picture show and thankfully it ’s not as prevalent later on ( although it still drink down up from clip to time ) . In this picture , instead of masturbation jokes , robot " peeing " fluid on multitude and acting like teenaged girls hiding in a back cubic yard , we have dog humping ( double ) , a robot humping Megan Fox ’s wooden leg , mammoth golem nut , farting golem and a college professor who ’s introductory speech is confine entirely to veiled sexual references .
There ’s also TONS of inappropriate speech communication for the under-10 crowd that is indisputable to show up for this movie - including but not specify to ahole , puy , globe sackful , bitch and sht . And of course in accession to the lingering shots of Megan Fox , there are suggestive scene with actress Isabel Lucas , including an plain cautiously craft " peek " injection of her rear / crotch .
I only mention all this because over and over and over again I ’ve get wind in defense of the first film:“It ’s a small fry movie ! ! "
Right .
And despite all the action I found myself kind of blase … I really almost nodded off at one point . Again : TOO LONG .
Oh , and yes , there are a distich of robots in the film ( the " Twins " ) that tattle and bet like something out of an old jongleur show - that was pretty unvoiced to fathom . I could possibly see if they acted like rappers ( due to absorbing what they ’ve construe on MTV or something ) , but ignorant , Southern , gold - toothed robots who ca n’t understand ? It was reminiscent of the two disastrous Crow from Disney’sDumbo(which was made back in 1941 ) . Of course one of the actors offer the voices is black , so I ’d be peculiar to hear his take on all this .
So , Transformers : Revenge of the Fallenis more of the same . If you thought the first one " rocked " you ’ll probably think the same of this one ; if you thought the first one was terrible , you ’ll probably recall this one is even defective . Me , I had such depressed expectations function in and already knew what to expect based on the first film . I did n’t have such a violent reaction to it - although I certainly do n’t intend to ever watch it again .
If you project on bring kids , I wouldhighlyrecommend you check this out yourself before bringing them .
