Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Review of Movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is inarguably the most highly anticipated release of the summer. I had loved the first installment of Transformers directed by Michael Bay back in 2007, the acting/premise/humor/action was superb.

That apart the movie has great premise and plot. The action scenes and visual effects are great. And for once the entire gamot of US army, air force and navy comes into play. The humor and comic scenes are also well placed. There are many duals between heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons each being filmed extensively and  are enjoyable to core. The new funky auto-bots are funky at times and pain to watch at certain junctures.

One can call it the pressure to out-do himself, Michal Bay has added lot of crap into this movie to lengthen it. I don’t understand why does 1 hour of the movie spent in talking about the college life, the chicks in hostels, pub and love live of Megan Fox and Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Add to that the annoying nuances created by Sam’s mother. It all goes over my head. he whole “college” section could have been compressed to about 20 to 25 minutes rather than an hour long.

The plot becomes tiresome and that truly disappoints. But, overall the movie is fun and worth a watch

My Movie Rating for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is a sweet 6.4/10
