Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Review By J.A.Ottley.Writer / Director

Jun 19th, 2009 by J.A.Ottley.Writer / Director
Bay back on top form, emotionally intense, spectacle action sequences...This is Power Rangers Megazords for the Big Boys...Get ready for the adrenaline rush.

Ok while it's not the best film of the year...I preferred Drag Me To Hell & Star Trek, but this hits the 3rd note.

But damn the action is spectacular from Optimus Prime jumping out a army chopper transforming dropping down with a parachute from Sam, Mikaela, the marines and 3 autobots taking on 15 decepticons in the Egyptian desert and a full on pure adrenaline rushed of hard core action, explosions, spine ripping, bot breaking and ripping that lasts for THIRTY MINUTES (Yes you did read that right).

To a perfectly ortchestrated and emotionally death and near death of 2 crucial characters.

While the plot is quite thin, its visible but who is here for the plot of Transformers, your most likely here for the spectacle CGI, Bay's mad codes and conventions for his OOT action sequences and Mikayla (Megan Fox).

The film begins with the background of the first decepticon to land on Earth, a f*ggy Decpticon called the Fallen, whose screentimes remenisce's of a certain symbiote in a film with that Peter guy in the red and blue tights.

Ok so the allspark was never completely fully destroyed, 2 pieces remain, one in heavy guard by the army and one in the hands of Sam (Shia Lebeouf), whom have decided to dump Megatron (Hugo Weaving), in the ocean guarded by a sh*tload of Navy battleships, but that doesn't stop him from being brought back to life by the allspark.

And when Sam touches the Allspark, he begins to start seeing this symbols known as cybertonian.

Of course the next 1hr is all about trying to find out what these markings are and as Sam spirals more and more crazy, the film just get more bizarre, as the symbols lead to the greatest energy source on Earth, hidden by the first autobots/decepticons.

With plently of twists and turns, and emotionally tense moments filled with hilarious comical moments and a brand new array of characters that now swear and have proper personalities from gangsters and street like stereotypes.

If you can imagine a transformer saying 'They will whack me, if i squeal!' and he refers to Ms Fox as a goddess, lol.

And transformers saying

"Well that's because your a p*ssy!'

Then your in for a hell of a ride

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is an all out action masterpiece set on the boundary and levels of Terminator 2, but its shame the story aint as brilliant.

Just enjoy the all out war between the decepticons and autobots...

This is Optimus Prime...Sending this message...And finally saying...

YOUR SEE ME IN TRANSFORMERS 3

    I'm the only person that thinks G.I. Joe and transformer 2 are boring... I'm trying my best to like it... I'll keep trying... I havent seen either one of the movies the whole way through because well... I think theyre boring, I still support them though.

    Mr Newkill your ranting about this film is unnecessary.If you want to complain about a film go to the Terminator Salvation reviews and complain cause that movie let down way more people then T2 ever will.

    Damn, J.A., i thought you had good sense. If you would have said, i liked this because but it's dumb, i would have let you off the hook. But saying this movie had twist and sh*t. It's terrible. This bullsh*t had no story. Complete mess. I've only saw one good review, that gives this a discerning view. This movie just proves that Hollywood just doesn't give a f*ck. How cynical could you get. This movie cost so much to make and it made no sense. Come on Ottley, your not a kid, give me a f*cking break. this sh*t is getting old, with Bay. How could steven spielberg put his name on this. F*ck Imax. This is a form of mass hysteria. People just don't get how bad this movie is.

    Well for someone like Bay, that isn't impossible.

    I did research on Galvatron and your correct, about Megatron & Galvatron being the same. But Bay revealed more than i said, to me it seems like they preferably already have a story planned out for Transformers 3, well the way he flew on about it

    I manaaged to hang with Bay for a bit, until some reporter came in to take a picture thinking we were father and son, which we both laughed.
    Bay also stated and confirmed at the primere that Transformers 3 will be the final installment for him.

    Fallen i'm not a massive Transformers fan, so i have no idea who Rodimus is...Unless you mean Rodimus Prime, he does appear in the film, but he is never named...I'm assuming his one of the Prime Brothers.

    But i can offer you a detail that apparently the 3rd installment will feature a Transformer called Unicron, apparently his going to be this special armoured tank, and they are considering some Galvatron dude.

    cool review. A few holes, but with such a great movie, and you were probably in a hurry so I have no problem with it. I can not wait for this, and if he does die, will Rodimus be in the next one?

    And thank you for doing that tad favour, it meant quite a lot, since we've preferably seen the film 4 days before most people.

    Did you get Power Rangers nostalia from watching this by the way, with the swords and everything.

    Also can we delete these commies, that we posted, so that we don't spoil the film for people who have yet not seen it that may end up reading this, review.

    I look forward to reading yours by the way.

    Can i ask you, obviously you seen the movie...So your saying i respect your opinion, and i'm not stating your lying.

    But you've failed to acknowledge, that he does. So i don't know which film you were watching, or maybe you just don't remember the epic forest scene battle

    Great review. I'll have mine's up tomorrow and I don't know why you said in the Transformers clip article that Optimus dies? WTF? He does not. I don't know what movie you were watching but he does not die.
