Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It's actually a good robot movie. It does have flaws but it's fun. The one this is you don't know why the fallen really wants revenge

OK. My biggest complaint is this - the alien robots can choose really to transform into any type of machine they want to. So how come the decepticons choose fighter jets and the idioticons, errr, the good robots choose to be cars. Now a yellow camaro is cool and all but since this is really a war, why continuously and idiotically keep choosing a vehicle that is 15 times slower than your enemy. And they repeatedly over and over again against all logic make this absurd choice.And the stupid writers of this movie just keep punishing us, the viewers with this moronic decision every chance they get.So the decepticons are chasing you in the desert of egypt and you need to get to where the body of Optimus Prime is 50 miles away? Well let's drive there! So you can get stopped at the border. And of course the bad robots know where you're going to so they fly there and in the plot take pot shots at you as you lug along at sub-100 MPH speeds. Truly a bizarre movie. Very bad.Oh and who can tell what is going on when the robots are fighting. It's just dumb.

Movie Review: "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" (2009)Here comes another 200 Million Dollar production, just short of the year 2009 top spot in terms of production costs with "Avatar" estimately needed 30 Million Dollar more to complete post-production. The opening shots are high quality 17,000 BC African-Natives advertising, and a new decepticon called "The Fallen", even superior over "Megatron", but somehow blocked-out razor-sharp teeth to its mouth, rises from the dark of a cave to use the "Matrix of Leadership" toward new world dominion, which makes me curious for the 135 Minutes to come. Then I witness scene after scene that Director Michael Bay does not make full use of the given standards in this mystically "Transformers" (2007) succeeding script by Ehren Kruger and further polishes by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman, instead putting his focus again on high-profile military shots that certainly have key properties to the picture, yet somehow needed to be updated to give the "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" a futuristic science-fiction touch-up in order to exceed its predecessor.The sizes of the sequel are any way bigger, when 60-feet-high decepticon "Demolishor" get chased through the city of Shanghai by an alliance between autobots and military special forces, before "Optimus Prime" arrives and sets out for the kill. The editorial comes along faster in pace and faster in dialogues, when the live-action protagonist Sam Witwicky, portrayed by character-reprising actor Shia LeBeouf, arrives on the scene, out of highschool, ready for college, calling his girlfriend Mikaela Banes, cool and relaxed appearing actress Megan Fox, sharing again a couple of chemistry-approving LeBeouf without reaching the ease of being an united couple from their 2007 first collaboration. Military characters Lennox & Epps, performed by actors Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson respectively, do not get any significant screen-time at all, unless they is some decepticon to shoot at. Some transformation shots set new standards, especially the few seconds of an appearance of the massive size of up to ten construction vehicles assembling "Devastator" at roundabout 110 minutes into the movie, while Sam, Mikaela and family supported by human special forces fight an unorganized bunch of decepticons with the Fallen as unidentifiable leader, who clearly does not need to struggle for any power to use "The Matrix" in order to improve some of the suspense-fall-outs, in some completely unsophisticated Egyptian ruin village exterior location, which after 5 Minutes time into the showdown becomes tiresome under the constant light of a mid-day desert sun.The production value of the high-end budget shows off with U.S. army properties as Black Hawks, Apaches helicopters flying, live-action ocean tankers on sea plus an underwater submarine-bouncing action scene with "Megatron" ascending from the bottom of the sea. Even the reprising character of former Section-7-Agent Simmons, with seemingly drugs-accelerated high-profile slapstick sharing actor John Turturro, improves the entertainment levels at moments of comic interludes, especially in collaboration with actor Shia LaBeouf. Even some magnificent executed scenes as the "Ravage Base Attack" night exterior with following "Reedman" (super-thin, razor-sharp transformer) infiltrating, cannot save "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" being leagues behind its potential of being superior science-fiction action entertainment as then six months later in December of 2009 "Avatar" directed by James Cameron proved to be.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

The Transformers return for a lackluster, poorly written sequel that still has some stunning visuals. The Michael Bay-directed film operates off the premise that the Transformers had come to Earth long ago. In the present, an elite military squad called NEST led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and Sargeant Epps (Tyrese Gibson) works with the Autobots to hunt Decepticons. In a destructive battle in Shanghai, Optimus Prime takes down a Decepticon but receives a warning of the Fallen. As Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) readies for college, he discovers a sliver of the Allspark cube that brings household appliance to life and destroys his parents', Ron (Kevin Dunn) and Judy (Julie White), house. Sam has to leave his transformer car Bumblebee behind and say goodbye to Mikaela (Megan Fox) as they start a long distance relationship. He gives her the cube sliver as he departs. The government wants to shut down the Autobots just as the Decepticons plan to revive Megatron. At college, Sam tries to cover up his strange past as he meets his crazy roommate Leo (Ramon Rodriguez). Judy gets high on pot brownies in a moment of humor. Sam starts seeing symbols, an effect from handling the sliver and finds a girl Alice (Isabel Lucas) has taken an interest in him. Bumblebee shows up to take him to Optimus who warns him of a coming war. Sam continues to have strange visions and discovers Alice is a Decepticon just as Mikaela shows up to see him making out with her. Resurrected, Megatron confers with the Fallen and catches Sam to have a microscope transformer probe his brain in search of a source of Energon.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
