I finally saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I am hard pressed to find a worse movie. It was disappointing on oh so many levels. Badly scripted, badly acted, badly executed, and above all badly directed.
Why was so much screen time devoted to such annoying characters?
Why add all these extra characters if you are not going to do anything with them?
Why couldn't they write a script that made sense?
Why was fricking Optimus Prime given bad guy lines?

Michael Bay has the directing mentality of a horny 15yr old boy. It's all big explosions, violence, hawt chicks and crude jokes. It didn't achieve anything! I think he actually hates movies. That is he only explanation I can come up with that makes sense.
Megatron was such a badass in the first one, why is he such a wimp in the second?
Since when does Megatron work for ANYONE?!
In the movie Optimus fights with all the homocidal brutality of Jason Voorhees! He rips another transformer's face in half with meathooks! What... the... fuck?! It is fucking OPTIMUS PRIME!! He's supposed to be the best and most honourable of the autobots, and he's taking names like a slasher movie killer!

After discussing things with my wife, who also watched this with me, I have come to grudgingly admit that the movie Twilight was actually better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, simply because it was at least internally consistent within it's own setting. But don't start judging me, I'm not saying Twilight was good by any stretch of the imagination, rather look at it in this way; it is better in the same way as eating horse shit is better than eating dog shit because at least horse shit is full of fibre.

On the plus side, we watched the new Star Trek movie after T:RotF to cleanse ourselves, and it was awesome. I'm not a star trek fan myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

I still weep for Transformers though. Damn you Michael Bay. You should be ashamed.
