You might think that after my review of Transformers, I'd avoid the second movie. Apparently not. I have to admit I wasn't really expecting a lot from it, but it seemed like an easy choice on a Sunday evening.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen definitely wasn't the disappointment the first Transformers was. A lot of this, I'm sure, has to do with my much lower expectations, but the other reason is that this movie simply doesn't take itself as seriously as the first one. It knows what it is and what people want it to be - a movie with cool cars that turn into robots, where lots of stuff gets blown up. It has that in abundance, so if it's what you're looking for you'll be perfectly happy.
The one criticism I can level at it is that it's just too long. However convoluted you make your story, and however many plot strands you bring in, you do not need three hours to blow stuff up. Two is more than enough.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
