Finally broke down and watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I've owned it since it came out on blu-ray but never sat down to actually watch it. So what can I say about it?
Well, for starters, it sucked. Oh, it wasn't bad, as it, gouge out my eyes, but it was nowhere near as good as the first one. Leaving aside the issues of plot because, let's face it, a good action movie usually has some holes and the first movie's plot was on the thin side, it still sucked. It was way too long and surprisingly boring. The only Autobots that got any real screen time were those horrible Twins who were invented for the movie. I know I have a Bumblebee bias, but hell, he was a main character in the first movie! This movie pretty much reduced him to...a car. The other bots barely got mentioned by name, much less had any screen time.
People who bitched about the lack of screen time the bots got in the first movie must've hated this one because somehow, the focus was even more on the humans. And, of course, on the testicles of all, Humans and Bot balls alike.
And, I have to ask and I'm sure others have but "SPOILERS" if the shred of the allspark could bring back a dead bot...is there any reason they wasted it on Grandpa Moans-A-Lot with a fucking transforming CANE? Why the hell didn't they use that on Optimus and skip the whole trip to Egypt? Oops, sorry, using logic there.
Stupid Michael Bay.
