Review: Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had tons of anticipation. Did it live up to all of that hype? Almost. Almost, but better than anything else that has come along with such hype.


The plot is about Sam Whitwicky, a boy from California, who wants to go to college, but finds that the Transformers have a new robot to fight: The Fallen. He soon becomes more than they ever could have dreamed thanks to the Matrix, a powerful object that destroys suns. It's up to Sam, Optimus Prime and Mikela (Megan Fox) to stop The Fallen and Megatron once and for all.
Let me get something to Michael Bay (the director) right now: this didn't need to be 154 minutes long. More like 130 minutes. A lot like The Twin robots and some love bits easily could have been deleted. However, this film has tons of action, enough to keep someone like me in such a good mood that people will think he's gone mad. Optimus Prime is a technical marvel, as is Devastator, a 120 foot robot made up of 7 robots!!
The film may have needed osme cuts, but it isn't like it is the first one to need usch things. It isn't better than the first Transformers, but it's sure good nonetheless.
Rating: B+ or 8.1 out of 10
