Two Haiku Movie Review: Transformers – Revenge of the Fallen
June 24th, 2009 by timbotronTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Gruesome robot deaths!
And an hour-long ad for
the U.S. Army:
“An Army of One . . .
That Turns Into a Sports Car
and F*&%s-up Egypt.”
Movie Pluses:
• The boombox Transformer Soundwave is re-envisioned as a communications satellite.
• The gigantic Transformer Devastator (composed of seven smaller Transformers).
• An unnamed razor-thin Transformer (camouflage: it can’t be seen head-on).
Movie Minuses:
• The film is 150 minutes long.
• Shia LaBeouf doesn’t die.
• Megan Fox’s bad collagen and tanning salon choices.
• Although I’m a big supporter of robot violence, this isn’t a good film for young children.
• About an hour of the film is dedicated to the American Armed Forces and little else; awkward, bordering on annoying.
