One of the most popular, thrill-packed, franchises of all time is back with even more action and more Autobots and Decepticons! In the highly anticipated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to product humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle. Amazon. comPure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That’s an exact classification of director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox’s hotness to the max. As if she weren’t enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there’s the humor. Sam’s parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White)provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious. As far as the “plot” goes, the writers didn’t waste much time–it’s really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences.
The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U. S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there–and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn’t want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance–which was arguably a good decision. –Jordan Thompson Stills from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Click for larger image)

What a disappointment. Here’s why: The movie starts by teaching the lie of evolution. Throughout the movie, the actors quote Bible phrases in a mocking manner. Also, there are lustful displays of women (his girlfriend and college women in dorm settings). Technology will not save mankind. Technology will not destroy mankind. Technology is lifeless. Robots won’t destroy the world; God will. Jesus returns in May 2011. “. . . the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)

This isn’t a review for the blu ray, simply the movie itself. I saw this in Japan the day of release and all I can say is wow, I was deeply impressed. We all read the reviews on some of the poor acting and deviations from the original cartoon plots, but that aside it was an excellent movie. The CGI was amazing, the action was non stop, and I had a lot of really good laughs. I never take reviews from critics seriously because I have my own taste in movies, go see this movie and be the judge for yourself, unless you absolutely must have your Transformers by the book then you’ll enjoy this movie.
Some of my favorite parts of the movie (no spoilers don’t worry) were how they used a lot of things from the 1986 movie but it was incognito, and the made Optimus a lot tougher. The introduced some new characters, and a bunch of the no name Decepticons that used to get trashed on Saturday mornings when you were little and you’d never see again. Bottom line is despite bad critic reviews I went to see this being a die hard fan, and I was not disappointed in any way shape or form, and I don’t think you will be either.

Just got my Blu IMAX version at Walmart this morning. $19. 96 which is not a bad price for it being a new release. I still have yet to watch the movie. Soo excited! Glad I waited and chose this version. I will give my review on the movie after I have watched it.
