Short review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen


I’m a big Transformers fan. The first show wasn’t as good as I expected, but at least it lives up to my childhood. After another 3 years in waiting, the sequel is finally here! And it is worth the long queue and the uncomfortable sits (TGV cinema not recommended…).


TF2 packs a lot of punch in terms of action sequence. It’s like the director has in mind that ‘the story isn’t going to stand out anyway, so just put more chase sequence and explosion then’. Indeed, it works well.


It has very brief story telling and most of it was glanced through quickly with few dialogues. New audience will have hard time understand it, but for us fans, it was well explained. However, some of the transformers (Ironhide, Rachet, Arcee, Sideswipe etc) didn’t have much character development or even dialogue.


Fans will be happy to see Optimus Prime having more action this time. I was even surprise that they include Pretenders, Soundwave, Ravage, Constructacons etc. Maybe they should include Headmasters in the next sequel. The detail CGI presentation also makes the character more lively.


Well, some of the robot killings are pretty brutal so parental guidance is advised =) If you are looking for intense action and lots of explosion, this is the show to recommend.
