I finally saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and let me tell you, Director Michael Bay knows how to film explosives! Still deciding on whether that’s a good or bad thing!
For me, the highlight is the returning actors Shia LeBouf and John Turturro – great, great, great! Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson were barely on, which was kind of disappointing. The parents, played by Kevin Dunn and Julie White, were funny, especially, the mother – hilarious! Megan Fox’s character seemed different this time around then the first film; a friend mentioned “they sexed her up too much” in this one compared to the first one where she just came off as naturally sexy. In this film, they positioned her to be sexy, which wasn’t very cool.
Two years has gone by and LeBouf’s character Sam goes away to school, leaving behind his girlfriend Mikaela (Fox) and of course the government and military bump heads on how to help or save the world. Bay threw in a new female to distract Sam; Isabel Lucas played Alice, a college student who was very persistent in getting to know him. Sam with the help of Mikaela, college roommate, Leo, played by Ramon Rodriguez (discovered by Director Bay himself) and of course, Turturro’s character Agent Simmons save the day.
This one does not do its justice as the first film – that I can definitely state without any doubts, but if you’re a comic fan and enjoy a lot of explosions, watch this film!
