Coming into seeing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I had no expectations. The 20% rating really left me with no hope. But I was pleasantly surprised.
Saying Transformers 2 had mindless action is rediculous. The effects blown me away along with the explosions and robots fighting scene after scene. The plot tries to be complex, but it also opens oppurtunity of conflict between the Decpticons and Autobots. We learn more about their past struggles which relates back to why their coming back to Earth.
The movie obviously doesn't take itself seriously when dogs are humping in it, but my main problem with the movie begins when it tries to express the love with Shia Lebouf and Megan Fox. Seriously, it's pathetic...no-one cares! It's almost as painful as the whole college scenery, it's poorly used. Anyway, I just wanna see Megan Fox in slow-mo, not Shia Lebouf stuttering like an idiot because he can't say I love you...ugh. Plus, robots cussing is unnecessary. It's idiotic.
Overall, It starts out slow and picks itself back up towards the end. If you enjoy robots fighting on earth along with humans thrown in the mix, go see this movie.
Rating: 7.5/10
It's necessary to include the Lincoln Park song the movies uses, so here it is click here

Might see it again in iMax though.
@tiggerboy - Thanks, hope you like it. It's been getting a lot of hate on GS lately...
@hazelnutman - Yep, the visual effects definitely topped the first one. The comedy was definitely hit or miss
@SaintLeonidas - That yahoo article is sadly true, but your not supposed to over analyze the plot of Transformers 2. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, really. I could see how that upsets people ( hit or miss) , but you should check it out once it hits DVD.
@Strife88 - I did enjoy the serious parts with Optimus Prime and Shia Lebouf. Those were cool, but the parts with him and Megan Fox were meh to me. I can't wait to see the 3rd one. It'll be amazing.
We will never see vector prime or rodimus prime in live action now! they handled the matrix wrong to. i want ultra magnus
