Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen — On a much larger scale — 7*/10

  • Overall: It's on par with the first chapter (read my review here) quality-wise, but there's a lot more action.
  • Who is it for? Those looking for an ass-kicking action sci-fi and the fans of the series.
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/
  • Known actors: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Turturro, Julie White, Kevin Dunn, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson.
  • Style: Action sci-fi.
  • Pacing: Fast.
  • Intro: I don't like the basis for the movie, but that just me.
  • Story: Lots of action, much more than the first chapter. A bit more involved than before, but still simple. Much greater deployment.
  • Ending: Action oriented.
  • Epilogue: Short and forgettable.
  • Dialogs: Very simple.
  • Characters: Very simple. The female lead has a much smaller role even though she's onscreen a lot. It's really disappointing. The soldiers suffer the same fate. This is not a character movie, much less than the original and very few character interactions that are good, especially what passes for a romance.
  • Acting: Okay, I guess.
  • Visuals: Awesome.
  • Special Effects: Perfect, or near enough.
  • Camera Work: A true Michael Bay treatment.
  • Score: Very engaging.
  • Afterthoughts: Great entertainment, but you can't ask for much more.
