Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen

Caught this yesternight. Not as hellish as some critics make it out to be, but still pretty disappointing.

Despite being a multi-million production, there are still two big flaws:-

1. The giant robots' limbs are ill-defined, lacking shadow, and all the giant robot fighting sequences are a massive blur of CGI metal and you can't be sure of what is exactly going on.

2. The cel-shading and colouration is really bad making the robots look like cartoon cardboard cut-outs, especially in the forest scene.

Otherwise, the movie pilfers from Aeon Flux, Species and The Matrix. And despite being quite a lot of Decepticons in the movie, they all look the same due to the same colour scheme.

And what's with constant bombardment of explosions? Is the audience really getting bored that fast?

The robot Twins, despite what the fans say, merely spout out juvenilistic and puerile crap.

There's some yellow humour as well, with dogs fucking and the mini Decepticon humping Megan Fox's leg. I like the senile old robot, though.

3.5 out of 10. Overly long as well. I enjoyed the first one.
