That Transformers Movie

Posted by movieguyjon

Hey folks, just got back from watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Here's my thoughts on the flick:

It was fun.

There's really not that much more to say on the matter. There were explosions, Megan Fox's bosoms, and a crotchety old Decepticon with a badass beard made of shredded metal. If you were expecting anything more than that, something along the calibre of Star Trek or Dark Knight even, that's your problem. Truth of the matter is, this film did what it set out to do and it was entertaining. Who cares if it was dumb? If you jump into your nearby time machine and check out the old cartoon, you'll notice that the plots aren't much different and the characters aren't that much more fleshed out.

I've got this sneaking suspicion that a lot of people expect way too much from these movies and all I really have to say to that is that this movie is based off of a set of action figures that spawned a cheesy cartoon series. Just sit back and be entertained. It's not going to be an oscar contender or on any top 10 lists, but it's a good way to spend the afternoon!
