Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

[Sorry for the belated post. Totally forgot I've yet to put it up here.]

Saw this one on opening night; rushed back from work to do it. Teeheehee.

So, the basic premise for the second movie is that our boy Sam has a bit of the AllSpark imprinted into his mind (kinda like Chuck), and now has to deal with The Fallen, who's Megatron's big boss. And by the way, Megatron's also back.

In my personal and humble opinion, I thought this movie was pretty awesome.

Sure, some of the camera work was crap (that bit with Sam and Mikaela before he leaves for college LITERALLY revolving around them? Not cool), and for some parts you couldn't see the bots transforming properly because the camera was too close to them, and most of the time you couldn't tell the difference between the Decepticons because of their bland coloring, but overall it was a fun ride.

With a lot more Transforming robots second time around (especially on the Autobot side) and more Bot cameos you can shake a finger at, there are a lot of fight scenes in this movie, something I'm not complaining about. The only thing I feel could've been longer is the fight between Optimus and The Fallen. Major fight like that should be longer than 10 minutes.

And plus, old = Egypt now? Yes, we get that The Fallen came to Earth many, many thousand years ago, but seriously, ever since The Mummy, old things made to look Egyptian is SO clichéd now.

Anyway, for a summer movie, Transformers 2 is really worth your ticket in the theatres. Just don't think too much of the plot (and how some bits of funny are really NOT necessary), and you'll have a great time :)
