The highly successful first film in 2006 that launched the careers of Shia LaBouf and Megan Fox, has returned for a second installment titled "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."
The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron's dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.
The Good
- The action was non-stop and was amazing in IMAX. The clarity of picture and sound make it a fantastic experience.
- LaBouf and Fox are perfect for the roles of Sam and Mikaela, but I think the person that stole the show was John Turturro as Agent Simmons. His comedic charm and smarts make his character well-rounded.
- The story was fairly easy to follow and even people who missed the first one could catch up.
- Megan Fox was very easy on the eyes and was definitely "sexed up" for all the males in the audience in this version.
The Bad - The running time of the movie is a bit long at 2 hours 36 minutes. Could have cut some scenes out.
- The conflict was resolved way too quickly. Bulding up for over 2 1/2 hours only to have the movie end within five minutes was not very good.
Rating: Solid 3 Stars out of 4 - If you are in the mood for action-packed fights between robots or looking at Megan Fox for 2 hours + then this is the movie for you. Already over the $300 million mark in the U.S., "Transformers 2" is the biggest of the summer with "Harry Potter" right on its tail.
