Review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) by Merijn J — 29 Dec 2018

(39/100).

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is painful to watch, I wanted it to end so badly. But the movie takes 2 and a half hours! I'm going through these movies just to see how good or bad they really are, and the Transformers franchise is nothing but bad up until now. The fights are mind-numbing, the interactions between characters boring. At least they kept some of the actors from the first movie, so there's a bit of continuity there. But the dialogue is really, really bad. Exposition after exposition without any interesting way to bring that exposition to the audience. The things that are happening are just cringey sometimes and not even entertaining, Michael Bay should know better. Overall, just a bore of a movie and I would have rather spend my 2 and a half hours on something else, but now I'm going to watch the third one, which will be bad, probably.
