Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen ★ ★ ★ ★ ½
I’ve never been one to pay attention to movie critics. Yes, they get paid the big bucks, are more involved in the industry so they can perhaps provide a more cogent review of a film but the actual value of it relies entirely on the influence and impression it leaves on me as the audience regardless of anything else.
So despite the negative reviews that one of the most anticipated Blockbuster of 2009 may have received, I’ll be the supportive movie goer in telling you that Transformers 2 was completely exquisite.
There’s no question that Bay’s calling card in filmmaking is blowing things up, which is fine because in the mix of everything, he takes us places we’ve never been and it all just works.
The film is absolutely bigger and badder with its stunning CG effects, perfect combative scenes, sufficient amount of comedic relief and Michael Bay’s unparalleled access to military kit which adds startling realism to the film.
As an added bonus, it was amusing to hear the crowd clamor (mostly the guys) during Megan Fox’s first scene appearance. You’ll see what I’m talking about. Her sexy appeal in combination with the snazzy car models that the Autobots convert to is jaw-dropping. Can’t wait to get my hands on a Blu-Ray copy to scope the extra footage that is equally engaging and compulsive to watch.
