Access Hollywood gives their revview of the movie and a little bit of a biography on the movie.
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is not a movie. It’s an endurance test — a two and a half hour drumroll from director Michael Bay, who pulls out all the stops to ensure that the sequel to the megahit from 2007 is the biggest, loudest, most obnoxious spectacle ever made. Unfortunately, he succeeds, which also makes “Revenge of the Fallen” an assault on the senses that’s relentless, unbearable, overlong and exhausting. Honestly, it gave me a headache.
Of course, it will still make a ton of cash, just like its predecessor, which grossed $708 million worldwide. But even though the alien robots were the focus of the first movie, the story was fresh and fun enough for their human co-stars to shine through (maybe that’s because Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, who’s good at this sort of thing, was looking over Bay’s shoulder).
