The cinematography is very pleasing to the eyes and especially on big screen.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has your typical corny humor. I’m talking JIVE. It’s a good action flick though. However, the acting won’t go down in the history books as Oscar worthy. Oh no no no. What really can an actor do with some basic one-two-three say your line kind of dialogue? Not much, so I can’t totally blame them.

This second installment circulates around Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf, Eagle Eye) heading off to college as he leaves behind Bumblebee his guardian Autobot and his woman Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox, How To Lose Friends & Alienate People). Home dude just wants to live a normal life. Before he leaves, Sam finds a piece of the All Spark and gives it to Mikaela to keep safe. Soon Sam finds himself having to join the Autobots against their sworn enemies the Decepticons. Poor Sam, he feels he did his part in the first Transformers helping save the human race from the invading Decepticons. He doesn’t want to do it again, but he’s summoned to. With the help of the soldiers of NEST, the Autobots and the former Sector 7 Agent Simmons (John Turturro, Miracle at St. Anna)

Makaela and Sam’s relationship sure does leave much to be desired. They have this ridiculous boring story about…”You say you love me first. No! You say you love me first.” Uh, yeah. Mmm hmm. I’m not joking. It’s just like that.

Sam is a spaz as always. No changing with his character. His parents are still flighty and goofballs. It really seems like they are trying so hard to be funny and quirky. It just seems phony.

I thought this movie is for kids too. My goodness there’s a lot of unnecessary bad words, and scantily dressed skinny girls. And I’m sure if you are considered UGLY by Hollywood standards, you weren’t being cast in this film.

I was so excited to see Transformers. I just new it was going to be exciting and great. UGH! I was so wrong. It’s super long, stuffed with all kind of foolishness and just doesn’t reach close to my expectations. I wasn’t bored with the film because there’s so many new characters, scenes, action and just gorgeous eye popping colors.

I did like how many more robots were introduced and their stories but I must express my feelings about two of the robots and my distaste for them -- the young twin Autobots named Mudflap and Skids. Where do I begin? They were just a pitiful shame. Their facial features were to display a certain ethnicity. They were gold tooth having, ghetto 70’s jive talking fools. The one admitted he couldn’t even read. Well, he kind of told his twin brother, “Man you know I can’t read.” WHAT the heck is that all about? I’m telling you that statement right there just cooked my last grit. I just cringed every time I heard them speak. I mean COME ON NOW! This isn’t the insulting Warner Brother black cartoons from the forties era. It’s 2009.

If you’re a fan of Transformers and have already seen the first film, you should see the second. It does have lots of action and it’s enjoyable for that reason only. Depending on who you are, you might be royally offended for many reasons. I know I was.
