Early Reviews of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Posted by Matt Rosenberg on June 23, 2009 at 9:21 pm
In perhaps the second most anticipated movie of the Summer, second only to Harry Potter, the Transformers sequel, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” opens tonight (6/23/09) at Midnight. I personally walked by a movie theater in New York City during the day where I saw dozens of people waiting on line. In fact, they had been waiting there since 1pm; or at least that’s what they told me as to when the line started.

There are only a couple movies I would do that (wait on line for 12 hours) for, and this is not one of them. Anyways, that’s not the point here. I read a couple of reviews on this movie, and surprisingly they are just OK and mostly just not good. I wanted to share them with you.
Lou Lumenick of the New York Post remarks that the movie is “squarely aimed at 8-year-old boys and men who never quite matured past that stage.” Lumenick gives the movie 1. 5 stars out of 4. Click here for a full review.
Jordan Mintzer of Variety praises the special effects and writes, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” takes the franchise to a vastly superior level of artificial intelligence. As for human intelligence, it’s primarily at the service of an enhanced arsenal of special effects, which helmer Michael Bay deploys like a general launching his very own shock-and-awe campaign on the senses.” Click here for a full review.
In other news, Megan Fox just took top prize in sexiest girl alive contest according to FHM magazine.

I won’t be among the many watching this flick. I didn’t see the first one and because by the commercial it just looks like they messed up one of my favorite childhood cartoons.

I just got back fromt he midnight showing, despite going into this movie thinking it would suck except for incredible action I was wrong. The only way to top the first Transformers was to add more fighting, more humor, and more Megan Fox, all three were done perfectly. The plot was a bit of a stretch but no one seemed to mind, an overall great movie keeping you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie.
@Candice I will be seeing this. I loved the first one, thought it was one of the most entertaining movies in a long time. Not great script or acting by any means, but pure entertainment value. The effects and sound were like no other.
