Netflix Movie Review - “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”

Movie - Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen RELEASE: 2009; GENERE: Action/Adventure; RUN-TIME: 2hrs, 29 mins RATED: Rated: PG-13 for Sci-Fi Action and Violence

SYNOPSIS: Two years after saving the world with the Autobots, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) away at college when an ancient Decepticon named The Fallen returns to Earth on a mission of vengeance. With the Allspark destroyed, the Autobots lose all hope of returning to their home planet of Cybertron, and begin working with an elite military known as NEST to hunt down any remaining Decepticons. Meanwhile, Sam contends with an overly-cocky college roommate, and attempts to remain faithful to Mikaela (Megan Fox) by fending off advances from pretty - and persistent - co-ed Alice (Isabel Lucas). Just as Sam begins adjusting to the quirks of campus life, a series of inexplicable visions leave him convinced that the struggle between good and evil is far from over. The Decepticons discover that Sam is the one human who possesses the ability to tip the balance of power to the Autobots' advantage, and they're determined to gain the upper hand by dispensing with him once and for all. Now, as Sam and Mikaela unearth a secret about the Transformers that alters the entire course of human history, the Decepticon known as The Fallen prepares to return, and reclaim the plant once and for all.

REVIEW: This movie was in no way as good as the first. The action was too fast and difficult to follow. Way overdone. Many times it was difficult to determine who was the "good guy" and who was the "bad guy". Dialogue was often lost making it difficult to understand what was going on at times. After the first half-hour we just wanted the movie to end. Great special effects, but it was exhausting. I don't normally review movies this bad, but in this case I had to make an exception. We only give it [2-Stars].
