Well....it's what was asked for... Sep 08, 2010 What is a film that cannot be described in a specific way? What is a film that truly has no idea where it was going or how it was getting there? What is a "people-pleaser" film? This lost movie is called Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen, a movie in which so much "filler" was forced into the movie that it turned out as a complete jumble of flawed ideas and useless concepts. This clearly could not live up to its predecessor's name.
Not a single category can hold, or even want to hold Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in its ranks. The movie has everything; action, comedy, sci-fi, romance, adventure, and drama. A viewer's dream, right? The answer is no. Bay used concepts in this film were simply spinoffs of the original, with other unexplained ideas thrown in the bunch. The movie did not follow the main theme through as the original did, rather straying off into other ideas that would leave a viewer wondering, "Wait, what just happened?" Short bursts of rushed action with the amount of camera movement that gives a person a headache were placed in the film as if the idea was just to make a few people happy. Michael Bay placed so much emphasis on the comical aspect of the film that it was hard to even take seriously. Romance was clearly flawed, considering the reason romance was even a part of this film was to add in a few unnecessary ideas, like a female decepticon who somehow knew all there is to know about college life, and a hot girlfriend (Meagan Fox) who had absolutely nothing to do with the entire movie. Drama had its few shining moments, but then completely disappeared in the next horrifying scene. On top of this complete genre mess, a flawed plotline just puts the icing on the cake.
In Transformers, the plot was concrete; giant bots came looking for a certain item to turn the tide in an epic war, one side for keeping humans safe, the other side not really caring whatsoever. There were no actual unexplained incidents. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, however, the plot was like thawing ice on a lake; one wrong step and one is submerged in the coldest experience ever. To get wrapped up in any one idea besides the plot in the movie would cause a person to completely get lost with whatever was going on. Stories went on and on until one finally understood that "wow, this one is crap".
The movie starts off with a narrative, telling you of an ancient group of transformers called the "Dynasty of the Prime", Prime for short, and their goal of using a type of machine called a Sun Harvester, a device used to drain the energy from any solar system's sun in order to power the All-Spark back on Cybertron. They all agreed to leave life bearing planets alone; all except one of the Primes. This one inherited the name "Fallen" for his belief that no other life-forms could amount to the Transformers. He constructed a Sun Harvester on Earth and became the true first Decepticon, slaughtering humans whom found out about this device. The other Primes fought and imprisoned him, however, before he could activate the Sun Harvester, and sealed the key away with their own bodies.
The Fallen swore to take revenge on the humans, vowing to destroy them when he returns. The rest goes downhill from there, as Sam Witwicky (played by Shia LaBeouf) is shoved once again into the middle of this now "old grudge match" between the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), and the Decepticons, now led by the Fallen. Sam must maneuver his way through the countless trials throughout the film, from exploding missiles to a female trying to extract his brain.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen stayed true to its name; it had "fallen". Bay most likely rushed this film just to make a few people happy. Potential could have been brought out had patience and meticulous proofreading were made. Only Meagan Fox's body over a motorcycle and its $800 million it made were the only good things that came out this film, and even those were because the first one was so good.
Movie not recommended.

The Fallen Sep 03, 2010 This soundtrack, like the first, did not have the great instrumental that we heard in the movie. Why cannot it have both, the cool songs like Linkin Park for instance, but not the superb instrumental? Disappointing.
Green Day has a great song on a pro-American, pro-military, un-politically correct movie. I wonder if they realize that.

Transformers II from Lotus games Aug 31, 2010 When purchasing a DVD it would be helpful to know that it has no cover artwork, as a consumer that would have changed My decision to purchase. The company did ship promptly.

Transformers "revenge" Aug 22, 2010 This film relies heavily on the special effects of the transformers & the sex appeal of Megan Fox. My kids love the transformers and as far as movies for the kids... it is entertaining... PG13.
