In the year 2007, Paramount and Dreamworks teamed up with director Michael Bay and Hasbro to create the world's very first, live-action take on a children's show which spawned toys galore in the late 70's- 90's!!!

Since it's creation, Transformers has brought joy to the face of teenagers across the globe with the help of one man- Shia Labeouf.

Now, we find ourselves in modern day, June 2009- and Transformers: Revenge of the fallen has hit America with a full-blown force, the damage? $16 Million in money for midnight screenings held at 12:01 AM all around the world, and that's only the beginning!

We all know that Transformers has grown into something more than just "pop culture" with the eager success of last year's film at an intake of more than $300,000,000.00 in months of release.

~ Spoilers/Major Spoilers~

(Caution: Here's the whole film in one paragraph!)

(You have been warned!)

Transformers 2:Revenge of the fallen takes us back to Sam & Mikayla- Mikayla helping her father around his motor bike shop and Sam heading off to big boy college- with his psycho mother crying over a pair of Sam's baby "booties" (not boobies!) And then the army steps in when it seems that everything is alright again because a chunk of the allspark still remains- and Optimus Prime has taken damage- and the fallen places a threat on our national security, who are we to turn to? autobots? decepticons? Sam Witwicki! The fate of all rests in his hands and apparently not his right hand which has taken severe damage (we all know why!) and a certain "sector 7" agent has returned while Sam keeps envisioning these symbols encoded in him by the last piece of the allspark!

The film in a nutshell is absolutely, over-the-top, special effects mania with swearing 'bots, fighting machines, and sh*t blowing up all over the damned place! This film proves that Bay is once again on the top of his game in the film industry. And although Yes! the script IS sort of "iffy" in parts- it carries itself through and regains power only in the final few 37-minutes of a kick ass fight between this earth's true good and evil!

With a film like this- there's only one thing left for me to say: I wish my last name were Witwicki!
