Transformers 2; Revenge of the Fallen

Overview

A robot kill robot movie with plentiful special effects 2 ½ hour movie. Lots of sexual innuendos. No rounded plot. If fact very little plot at all. Is it worth it???

Coolness Factors

>AMAZING special effects
>The incorporation of most of the characters in the last movie
>It’s Transformers 2! It isn’t great by any means but so many people(including myself) have been waiting for this since the last one came out on DVD.
>Jetfire is pretty sweet. As is the cat robot and the megadecepticon...


Moral Stuff


>Did I mention sexual innuendos? Just ignore the all the dialogue… and I do mean ALL of it!
>Sam Witwicky does his best to be faithful to Mikaela.
>Yes, guys have testicles, can we get over it???
>Sam’s mom on drugs. Scary.
>Language is like 50 times worse than the first movie.

Stupid Stuff

>The 2 new robots (green one and red one) that call themselves the twins are so annoying. -Eveytime they open their mouths…
>The Dialogue
>The plot (or lack of it)
>Sam doesn’t want to cheat on his girlfriend. Not that whatsherface gives him much of a choice.
>Yeah, no one is EVER going to find that temple. Not in a million years!

Plot (Spoiler Alert!!!)

So here’s the deal, supposedly the Transformers had been on Earth before. And the leader of them, the one “Prime” that went bad is trying to harvest Earth’s sun, but you need this matrix to operate the sun eating machine and the rest of the Primes took it and made a tomb for it with their bodies. Hence the temple with the really big doorway. It’s hidden behind the mural where no one else would ever think to look! Right. Megatron comes back and needs Sam to find the matrix because the “map” is in Sam’s head. It got there when he touched a shard of the cube. Hence the spas attacks. The map is in the language of the Primes and no one knows how to read it except the Primes (Optimus is dead by now) and a couple Decepticons. So with the help of a captured Decepticon they find Jetstream who can read the language and takes them to Egypt where the sun eater is in the pyramid and Sam gets the matrix which turns to dust, gets it back to the NEST solders and then dies. Then the dead good Primes visit him and tell him he has won the honor of the matrix and it reforms. Then Sam resurrects (didn’t see that one coming!) and saves Optimus. Jetstream gets maimed and gives Optimus his parts, Optimus kills Evil Prime then Megatron and Starscreem flee. The end. Not a lot of plot for a 2 ½ hr movie.
