Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was a huge let down to this fan of the original show as well as the last movie. Some of the characters that were not in the first movie yet in the sequel seemed to be thrown in for the sake of adding another cool CG effect.
Some characters seemed to be stereotyped in a bad way.. not knowing how to read, coming from "da hood", and childish(yet very adult oriented) humor.
**** SPOILER ALERT ****
Don't read any further if you don't want to know anything about the movie!!
Soundwave: by far the coolest decepticon in the original cartoon. Was absent in the first movie. He made an appearance in the sequel but a shell of his bad self. Soundwave was relegated to being an information interceptor by hooking up to a US satellite. WTF?!
Starscream: While in the original show he was a scheming coward; he's a full blown renfield to megatron with even less of a backbone.. WTF?!
Devastator: The constructicons make an appearance but they don't really identify themselves until they combine into Devastator. While the original one was a cool looking robot, this one was a big hulking piece of junk. There was no real form to it, just a bunch of mangled metal with a pair of big balls.
The Twins: These two autobots are pure nonsense. They were added to be the comic relief in the movie but it falls short at times. They seemed to be forced into the story, yet they are stereotype nobody likes. They can't read, they came from "da hood", and they used a good amount of frat boy humor with references to pubic fro and calling someone a pussy. Again WTF?!
The Humanoid: While she was a hottie I think this was a bit of stretch as it would open up a big can of worms on why the decepticons can mimic human form but autobots can't. IMHO this goes a little too far as the next movie(if there is one) can just go all out for human looking transformers, which in turn throws the whole autobot/decepticon concept out the window. WTF?!
The story: Well well, the transformers had visited earth before with the intention of destroying it to make energon. And to make things even more craptacular the only way to get rid of the "fallen" is to have a prime(Optimus) kill him. Nobody else can hurt him except a prime(Optimus). Well that job security for ya.
****End Spoilers****
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen could have been a much better story driven movie but instead it relied on stereotypes, toilet humor, and special effects.
This movie was nothing but a quick money maker and it was proven when it garnered a $16M dollar profit at the midnight showings. This weekend it will be big. Unfortunately for those shelling out to see it may come out of the theater with feeling a tad ripped off or they will be somewhat disappointed or both.
A good number of people won't care about the humor or innuendo as they are there to see the cgi and action which it has copious amounts with a crapload to spare.
2.5 hour movie and about 1/2 way through I was finding myself wondering "Did I really pay for a ticket to see this?"
This movie is best reserved for a DVD rental(From Redbox for $1 if you have one near you) before purchase.
My final say on the movie: I've got a 100 lb bag of stuff, and just dump it on the floor. There's real nice stuff in the bag, but I just DUMP it on the floor. Noisy, Chaotic, Disorganized. The movie had real good potential, but it was just DUMPED on the floor.
