Michael Bay Ruins My Childhood One Unnecessary Explosion at a Time

Your Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen highlight, you’re welcome

Above is evidence of the only…THE ONLY…redeeming value of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  Megan Fox is ridiculously hot in the entire movie, in fact, there would have been more redeeming value in the 2 hours and 15 minutes I spent watching if the entire movie was Megan Fox walking around in varying levels of undress and glisten as plot points and fight scenes happened in the background, readily obvious in their presence, but not taking away from the central theme of Megan Fox being hot.  But instead Michael Bay saw fit to spat in the face of my 9 year old self and produce what amounted to a meandering, poorly written, mess with cool looking robots.  Half the time you can’t really understand what’s going on, and when you do, the horribly written jokes distract you from anything that would help you understand.  The height of plot frustration was at the very end.  The final battle scene, in real time, may have taken 15 minutes…in excrutiatingly drawn out Michael Bay blow stuff up time, thats 45 minutes.   Even more tragic is Sam’s (Shai LeBouf) search for the power source that will bring Optimus Prime back to life (yeah, Optimus dies, sorry) leads him to that builing in the rocks place from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  So yeah, same place where Indy found the holy grail is also the spot where some aliens robots left an life giving energy source.  That’s just gosh damn lazy.   Oh and there are hip-hop robots…did I forget to mention that?  Yeah, two robots, that speak jive, and have gold teeth.   Enjoy.

So yeah, run right out and see this steam pile of explosion filled fail…thats what Im saying here.

    The best part of us seeing this movie was watching the parents (of a 5 year old) in front of us flintching every time “shit”, “asshole”, and “pussy” was said .
    This movie is made by Hasbro for fucks sake. Either make it for kids or make it for adults who still act like kids…..not both.

    You forgot to mention one key feature of the movie: Isabel Lucas. She rivals Megan Fox in this movie in terms of hawtness. So there’s two reasons to go see it.

    Though, what can you expect about a movie involving alien robots.
