Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Posted by Tyler Kirk on Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Stupid and fun have never been a finer combination.
Who would've thought the sequel to the smash hit in 2007 would receive a C- by the critics and a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes? I guess a lot of people already knew the movie would've won 3 Razzie awards for worst film, worst director and worst screenplay.Either those people were expecting too much or they tried to take the movie seriously.There's a rule to enjoy movies like "Revenge of the Fallen".If you don't follow this rule, you'll be left wondering what you just sat through.The rule is this: Do NOT, and I mean DO NOT, expect the movie to be serious.That's pretty much the main difference between us who find the movie enjoyable and those who hate it.It's the kind of movie that warns you from the first 10 minutes to shut down your brain for 2 and a half hours in order to get involved with the lowbrow humor and mind-blowing action sequences.I know people will hate me for liking this movie, but that's just me.Hey, at least it's a better movie than"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra".You thought that movie was better? You must think "Catwoman" was better than "The Dark Knight" if you think "G.I. Joe" is better than "Transformers".
I will admit that the movie has some flaws.Some of the characters are a little too immature for the situations their in.Take Ramon Rodriguez for exapmle when he tells Megan Fox that hot wiring a car is "hot" when they're being chased down a robot that's trying to kill them.I know Megan Fox is hot but you need to care about your life just a little bit if a robot disguised as an 80-100 pound college student with a tongue the length of an ox's tongue is trying to kill you.Not exactly what you would call an intelligent masterpiece.That credit would go to Christopher Nolan's "Inception".Still, there's a lot of fun to be had with "ROTF".Most of the humor here is petty immature, but I found it amusing.The 2 new robots in the movie are called the Twins, a red and green autobot, one of them having a gold tooth.A lot of people complained about the movie being racist mostly because of the Twins' accents and slang.Again, it's not a movie to be taken as seriously as the first.The first movie never used the word 'p**sy" or n*gga" , so the movie is pretty much offensive to races and children.Was the first movie intended for kids? No, so why are parents complaining about this movie's content when they should know it's not a kids movie? If your that parent, then you have no right to even have sex if you know the condom broke and you're going to have a kid, and your going to complain that "Transformers 5" used half of the word 'f*ck'.
It's a shame to see people who don't know how to have fun with a movie bash on this film.Michael Bay isn't a bad filmmaker, Martin Scorsese is.Just joking.Why would I say Michael Bay is better than Martin Scorsese? That's just preposterous.I loved the movie's special effects.I loved the quirky humor.I love..."Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".Is that an angry mob outside? I wonder what will happen if I say "Iron Man" suc- *gunshot*.
