Directed by: Michael Bay

Starring: Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, John Turturro, and Tyrese Gibson

So I finally got the chance to see, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” this afternoon, and here is my review…

Plot/Synopsis: The Fallen is on the hunt for Shia Labeouf’s character, Sam Witwicky so the evil Decepticons can hold Sam prisoner. The Fallen orders Megatron and Starscream to hunt down Sam. Meanwhile, Megatron and Starscream must battle Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots in order to get after Sam. The Autobots are out for Sam’s protection and safety. Sam also gets help with his human friends, Agent Simmons (John Turturro) and Mikeala (Megan Fox), and also Leo Spitz, Sam’s college buddy. Does Optimus Prime successfully defeat the Decepticons in order to save Sam’s life? You’ll have to see the movie for yourself in order to see more than meets the eye.

Ok. Lets discuss the good and the bad things about the film.

The Good: Special effects, sounds, cinematography, good camera direction and angles by Michael Bay, great fighting scenes with the robots. More Megan Fox, the Rainn Wilson cameo, and more Optimus Prime!!!

The Bad: Acting of the cast, scriptwriting, movie was too long, the film was a bit too racist with the Twins robots Mudflap and Skids who were at the center of racist slurs, we get to see a naked ass shot of John Turturro instead of a naked ass Megan Fox, too much swearing (yes, we do hear the robots saying “shit” and calling the female characters “bitch”) and too much Shia Labeouf screen time.

The movie was ok, but could have been a lot better. I think Michael Bay and Shia Labeouf are the wrong people to be a part of this movie. Michael Bay isn’t a good director and Shia isn’t a good actor.

I only watch the Transformers movies in theaters ’cause I was a fan of the toys when I was a child. I liked the first “Transformers” movie but the second one was kind of a dissapointment.

Transformers is supposed to be for something that children should enjoy. Yes, it has a PG-13 rating, but the movie had some R-rated material in it. Of course, this kind of stuff never offends me at all, but when it comes to Transformers that kids are supposed to like, I don’t think parents would want to take their kids to the theaters where the film will have racist robots, other robots calling women in the film a “bitch”, and seeing an almost bare naked ass of John Turturro when he pulled his pants down in the film.

Michael Bay needs to quit doing these Tranformers movies and I hope he won’t do the third one which I have a feeling he will. Who do I think that should have been the director of these Transformers movies?

I would say, J.J. Abrams would have done a better job. After what J.J. Abrams did to movies like “Cloverfield” and “Star Trek”, he would have made a much better “Transformers” movie.

Megan Fox is so right that Michael Bay needs to focus on the acting and not special effects, after seeing this crap. It was an ok movie, what I liked most about it was seeing more Optimus Prime and the action scenes of the robots were fun to see.

It’s too bad Shia didn’t injure both hands so he can stop acting for a while, I know bad joke but I think you get the point.

Score for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” = ** (2 stars as in “ok”)

I will see, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” this weekend. Review coming soon. This movie is getting mixed reviews. A lot of people love it, and some hate it. Although, this movie is creating some controversy as well, as some critics say it’s very racist.

As a little child, I was a huge Transformers fan. I collected all the action figures and watched the cartoon series pretty religiously.

IMO, Shia Labeouf, is not the right choice of a star for a movie like this. I just like the movies for the fun action scenes, the cool robots and of course, the sexy Megan Fox.

Looking forward to seeing “Revenge of the Fallen” this weekend, hope it won’t suck. Hope I’ll like it.
