Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Reviews

The creative people behind the cretinous Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the second blockbuster inspired by the popular Hasbro toys, have segmented their demographic into four discrete categories: 1. Young teenage boys who still play with Transformer toys (or keep them under the bed). 2. Older teenage boys who identify with the professional doofus Shia LaBeouf.

The fact that Transformers made a gazillion dollars at the global box office pretty much guaranteed that a sequel would be fast-tracked to theatres so that the studio, director and stars could make another fat wad of cash to tide them through these difficult financial times. So that Badshah of Bombastic Booms and Bangs, Michael Bay, gets to hang out behind

When Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBouf), Mikela (Megan Fox) and the Autobots saved the human race from the invading Decepticons in the first big-screen actioner, it was a moment worth cherishing. This second installment though appears to have veered-off from the progressive intelligible path into a mayhem that goes awry from the first act itself.

Michael Bay is the Godfather of Hollywood blockbusters. Transformers is easily his biggest and most successful money-making enterprise till date. So when he decides to revisit it and gets the bad guys (Decepticons) and the good (Optimus Prime and his gang) ones to do battle, we know there will be more than just fireworks.

Evidently for Michael Bay nothing succeeds like excess. The second part of a planned trilogy, this spin-off of the 2007 blockbuster bludgeons the viewer with bigger explosions, gargantuan robot warriors and a deafening metallic soundtrack. The action-meister (Bad Boys, The Island) harnesses state-of-the-art technology to bring computer-game style excitement
