Review by Desert Cities Guides Movie Guide Nick Jones
Oh, Michael Bay. You, sir, are quite the interesting director. It’s a love hate thing with you. “The Rock,” love! “Pearl Harbor,” not so much. The first “Transformers,” good job! “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” not up to par. Besides its over-the-top length (149 minutes), ridiculous plot holes and racist stereotypes, its major flaw is the attempt at comedy. The movie pulled a Jar-Jar Binks. Instead of trying to wow the audience with the technical mastery of its computer-generated robots, Bay was more focused on trying to pull out laughs. But all that aside, the movie is a visual and audio masterpiece. The film looks amazing, the bots sound unreal and the film looks like its price tag of $200 million.
