Finally saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen today. Went to an early showing for the cheaper price, but I was shocked at how many people showed up- almost a full theater!

So, quick review, but be warned: this may spoil some things for those of you who have not seen it yet.


*****


Bigger, more involved storyline than the first movie. We get to see Sam and Mikaela dealing with their deeper feelings and with Sam's move to college (NJ, yeah!). Optimus and the 'Bots, along with some new additions, have teamed up with human forces to deal with lingering 'Cons. They receive a threat from their latest kill, concerning the Fallen. Sam unfortunately comes into possession of knowledge the Decepticons want, and everyone he loves becomes a target.

One of the things I really loved about this sequel was that the Transformers got more screen time and speaking lines than the first. Plus, the animators outdid themselves in making the faces more animated and expressive. Hugo Weaving as Megatron sounded much better this time around, along with Starscream and Soundwave (who had a kickass alt mode).

One of my qualms was that, though we see and hear a lot more of the bots, the new Autobots barely got any mention! Sideswipe only had a handful of one-liners, Acree (all three) only have like, one sentence, Jolt the Chevy Volt got NOTHING, and a number of the Decepticons died too fast to even get names!

Plus, I was kind of confused about something. In the first movie, all 5 of the Bots couldn't take on a single Con, even Optimus, but in Revenge, Optimus took on Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout alone! Not that I didn't enjoy it, but since when was Prime such an ass-kicker? (Or Megatron a sissy? Or the Fallen Darth Sidious?)

Oh, and the twins were funny in the most obscene way possible. Seriously, how did they get away with a PG-13 rating? I saw little kids in the theater, and I don't think their parents were expecting to explain what half those terms were or what Wheelie was doing to Mikaela's leg.

In all, though, I really liked the movie. I just felt like some of the laughs were cheap and forced. Bay- don't ever make a mistake like the twins AGAIN.

Oh, okay. I was pretty confused there. Me and my older sister come and go, and it's easy to get us all mixed up.
