Generally speaking, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is not what you’d call a good film. It is big, noisy and meaningless. The plot is wildly illogical, and the actors do more running than acting. But after the first successful Transformers film, we know why millions of people – including us – want to watch this sequel.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen takes place two years after the fierce battle between the good Autobots and evil Decepticons in the first Transformers movie. That battle had killed the Decepticon leader Megatron, but a plan is now underway to revive him and reunite him with his master, the vengeful Fallen.
Meanwhile, young Shia LaBeouf – the human boy who helped the Autobots – is now ready to go to college, even though it would mean leaving behind his uber-hot girlfriend (Megan Fox). But when Shia arrives on campus, he suffers from strange visions to seem to hold answers to the impending war between the robots again…
With director Michael Bay at the helm again, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen begins intelligibly enough, but then gets dumber and dumber by the minute. The first hour has its share of humane, humourous moments, but the second hour is relentlessly action-packed, cramming one ferocious battle after another. It soon melts into one breathtaking blur, when you can’t tell one series of explosion from another.
Thankfully, the robots are still fascinating to watch even when the ridiculous finale – at Egypt’s pyramids, no less! – can’t decide between three endings. Sure, this movie won’t win any Oscars, but damn those robots look good.

It was louder, more explosive, more action packed.
But it seriously got hella stupid.
Thin story line aside but what happen to those amazing robots in disguise? And since when can these robots take on human forms? Last check it was in the late 90s when Beast Wars were in fashion and all these robots transformed into pesky insects and clumsy mammals having actual conversations about world dominance.
Never was there a single human with raging estrogen insight. And then came the handsome looking Blackbird that transformed into an old mugger with landing wheels for a walking stick and like that wasn't enough to send its true blue fans into animatronic seizures, came the infamous Constructicons otherwise known as the Devastator. We do know that it's a huge ass robomonster built together from interlocking 5 menacing looking construction vehicles into one fierce machine but in this case, the apparent result look like a cross breed between a bull frog and a household Sanyo vacuum cleaner. So all in all, yes to CGI, but hell no to the horrid results of the transformation that fails to meet the eye.
More robots, more explosions, more fighting scenes, more humor between the dad and mom..
Well, that's what people always love to watch.
Seems like a mix of many film idea... A robot babe?(from Terminator) helicopter crashing(black hawk down), transportation from one place to another...the small radio car look like a Gremlin... sch boy seeing vision in sch(harry potter).. the list goes on.. but i must say.. the transformation of the robot is cool .... :)
