transformers: revenge of the fallen

the cruel curse of sequel-hood is inevitable comparison. with expectations running rabidly high against the jaw-droppingly fun outing from 07, this summer offering needs to impress every single step of the way.

while it still retains the core winning formula of eye-popping mechanical transformations and massively destructive brawls, the plot around the action was severely weighed down by the introduction of numerous redundant characters, both human and robotic. the result is a visual spectacle that is also a poorly-told and overly-lengthy story of repetitive screaming matches among fleeing humans and even more repetitive fisticuffs between the warring robots.

if you enjoy a mind-numbing sensory overload, this is your movie. thanks for the company, s.
