Review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Spoiler: "Megan Fox doesn't die and get resurrected, but everybody else in the movie does."

Is that the pitch you use to get $100 million+ budget from a movie studio? Of course it would be followed by the accurate prediction, "Don't worry, every buffoon in America will pay to see it, and you'll make at least half billion off it."

I was one of those buffoons who paid to see it. It barely delivers as a spectacle of explosions and gunfire, but fails in every other aspect of entertainment. Honestly, there are only so many times you can watch LaBeouf and Fox jump out of an exploding building before you start to wonder how incompetent these robots actually are. After each action sequence, I had to ask myself once again, "Are they even trying to kill these humans?"

Still, most kids seem to like it, so I'd give it a flattering 2/10 instead of a 0.
