(1,001 explosions and counting)Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel & Tyrese Gibson
Directed by: Michael Bay
Screenplay by: Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman
Plot:
The Autobots have now formed an alliance with the U.S Military with the goal of taking down all remaining Decepticons on the planet. After capturing a rogue 'bot', it is revealed that a deadly threat is on it's way to Earth, 'The Fallen'.
Verdict:
One thing you can't accuse Michael Bay of is not trying to entertain an audience. Seemingly trying to break a new world record for the highest amount of explosions in a single film, Bay does indeed blow shit up. But you can't really use it as a criticism when he does it so damn well. That is the case with his mega-budget sequel, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.
On a technical level, this is amazing. The special effects are used to good effect, not just for the sake of it. The creation of the Transformers presents CGI at it's very peak. The action sequences including some brilliant Transformer Vs Transformer smack downs are executed to near-perfection especially the sequence where Optimus Prime takes on several Decepticons.
So it's a great shame that Bay doesn't pay as much attention to other areas of his film. All though all the cast members who reprise their roles from the first outing are fine because we already know there characters, some new characters added this time are not fine at all. The twin Transformers who spend the whole film spitting out hip-hop slang are extremely irritating and another annoying character bought into the mix, Sam's new college roommate, who ends up tagging along for the adventure, spends every second he is on screen, whining, screaming or just blurting out rubbish dialogue.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the story as well is filled with plenty of plot holes much like it's predecessor. In the end though, Shia LaBeouf is a great lead once again and you will at least be entertained because this is pure popcorn entertainment that on the whole, is worth your time.
DDD
Well mate, I see your pois of giving 3 "D's" for this one....I watched it and those 2 transformers are quite annoying, but the film as a whole is very funny!!!! =]....but I know the director basically paid more attention to the special effects the he paid attention to the actors, not that they're not good in it, but they didn't do much!!! but it was good in the end....
