Multi Layered Movie

I was hooked on the Transformers w/my sons many many years ago with the toys. When the first movie premiered, I proudly asked for my Senior Discount at the Movie Theatre!!. With the REVENGE, I had to watch the DVD 3 times to unravel the multi layers. I love it!!!

This was an interesting movie, but where is Transformers 2?

Just where was it? This movie had nothing to do with Transformers. It stared some of them, but this movie had absolutely nothing to do with them. This was more like watching a script that was meant to be part of another movie, then adapted to be a Transformers movie. The producers just threw in additional autobots that have nothing to do with the Transformers franchise. The story doesn't even go in line with the concept of the Transformers. Why fabricate a villian no one has ever heard of, when there are PLENTY and I mean PLENTY! of major Decepticon villians they could have introduced... like Hello UNICRON!

I also don't understand why the major players from the TV show are made to seem as extra's and lackies in these movies. Star Scream was never a coward he was always ready to take control. He never feared Megatron so why does he become his rag doll in the movie? I don't get why the producers decided to create so many new and unheard of decepticons. The Decepticons have their own squad of recognized soldiers just like the Autobots do. They did it in the last film so why are they so absent in this one?

I was really dissapointed with this film, and while I thought the first one was "ok" aside from the Transformations being too technical it was an enjoyable film. Revenge of the Fallen is makes "Batman and Robin" (the one with george clooney)look like "The Dark Night". This film is absolutely terrible, and for a show made originally for children to watch, there is no way any child under the ager of "21" could watch this film. There is just too much foul language, sexually suggestive themes, and adult humor going on in this film. I was really suprised to see all of these vulgarities in a "Transformers" movie. Even if it is live action, it's still a story made for children (I know because Optimus Prime and GI Joe raised me). It was more like a slap in the face to anyone that loves transformers. They took a series that was made to teach kids moral principles about life and turned it into a film with a decepticon humping a girls leg. I mean they just took a dump on my childhood Saturday mornings and I didn't appreciate that.

I've never been a fan of Michael Bay's films, and seeing Revenge of the Fallen reminded me why. View at your own risk and make sure your children are not in the room.

I give this film 3 Stars.

Mainly for having Peter Cullen play the role he was meant to play (Optimus Prime).

THE BEST REVIEW

BACKGROUND
Although I was a fan of the original Transformers TV cartoons and toys, I had little interest on this new incarnation. I even saw the first movie at home, much after its theatrical release but I didn't understood many of the changes from the original cartoons to the action live movie. After that, I bought a DVD of the original 80s cartoons in a local shop; let me tell you that I didn't remembered how silly those cartoons were!. Ridiculous dialogues, inconsistent plots, so I ended giving away the DVD to a 7 years old nephew (I don't know if he like it or not). After that I saw the movie again and then I understood that all the changes were absolutely necessary.

When Revenge of the Fallen showed in theaters I went to see it and I loved it! I think it's far superior to the first movie.

PLOT
What would you expect of a movie based around alien giant robots and inspired on an animated show of the 80s?.... My answer to that question is just FUN!, and this movie it's all about FUN!

Explosions, robot fights, silly high school jokes, destruction and lots of CGI action are the principal ingredients of this exciting larger than life film. Even a very serious and dramatic final fight scene is involved.

PERSONAL COMMENT
I don't understand the people who are giving all these bad reviews. Really, I don't know what they were expecting for?, if you are feeling intellectual, please try "A Beautiful Mind", "Slumdog Millionaire" or other Academy Awarded movie. Come on, this is a (Non Academy Award contender) summer pop corn movie!, enjoy it!

Does excessive CGI bothers you?, remember this one is based on a 100% animated show, so don't complain!

CAST
What can I tell you, of course that acting is not memorable, but the film is not about the actors, it's about giant CGI robots. Said that, Megan Fox is still hot, John Turturro is "stupidly funny", Josh Duhamel is perfect as Major Lennox (He is the kind of guy I would have liked to play Duke in the G.I.Joe movie). Michael Bay does a great job here (a very interesting documentary about Michael Bay and his directing style is included on disc 2).

MUSIC
The music and score is good. The score is far superior to G.I.Joe's for example. It follows the action well and adds drama at the end of the film.

CONCLUSION
This is a very good movie within its genre. Not intended for children, but for action/sci-fi followers and fans of the original 80s cartoons, who now are 30+ year old folks. If you are tired and want to relax and forget about the report you have to deliver tomorrow to your boss, or just want to spend a Sunday evening at home, this is the perfect movie for you.

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.
