Many moons ago I started this blog with a review of the thoroughly average Michael Bay / Steven Spielberg / Hasbro Toy commercial Transformers, reflecting the mythology of a cartoon and comic series, which was originally only meant to help, Japanese toy robots that could turn into trucks, planes and a few unusual things and some were from different series to be reconciled, and to sell as American and European children, and then re-export to Japan. Wow! What a sentence ... Anyway, Transformers was far too serious for its exposure could totally dimwitted, but thanks to great animation effects, a sexy actress called Megan Fox and the delusion of a fan group, a weak nostalgic animated series now glorified, that one was dealing here with a good film, to be a huge success. And to my tendency to make long sentences to suppress something: Of course, had such an international box office success have a sequel. This is now available and with the creative title TRANSFORMERS II - THE REVENGE (Transformers II - Revenge of the Fallen, 2009).
The sequel plays shortly after the first part. The good Autobots led by the heroic Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), have allied themselves with the people. Together they search for the surviving Decepticons to destroy them and thus to keep the peace on earth. The young Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf), who originally the link between the Transformers and humanity has had, meanwhile, all other problems. The college calls, and thus a long-distance relationship with his friend, the beguiling Mikaela (Megan Fox). The whole is even more dramatic, as Sam a splinter of the Allspark destroyed (the lifeblood of the Transformers) moved and now has visions of strange characters. He has no idea that so he calls the Decepticons on the plan. Because of the ruthless leader of the evil robot, called traps (Tony Todd) has big plans for our sun ... but not necessarily something that would be conducive to life on Earth ...
"Die Hard, Hot Rod!" - "I am Optimus Prime, Soundwave! "-".. Hey, I'm Megatron "big, loud, unpretentious and with plenty of explosions Sun, or something like that could actually any film by Michael Bay rewrite this formula down leads and re really good action movies (The Rock), but sometimes with stripes, which would in any list of the worst films of all time in good hands (PEARL HARBOR). had After TRANSFORMERS quipped Bay, is now devoted to first a short film before make the continuation of the blockbuster would. the favors he gave us not enough. Together with the authors of the first part (Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman), he has a film on the Canvas that is very unassuming and flatness of hard to beat. And that really surprised because Kurtzman and Orci have been responsible for the screenplay of the extremely successful "Star Trek" revival last.
In the incredible 150 minutes you would normally have had a lot of story may bring. Not as Bay and his team. After the first half hour is unbearably bad, and nothing, absolutely nothing good has (the actors do a lousy in this hodgepodge scenes just feel sorry for), the story is up and running. They no longer remains as an alibi to justify an action sequence after another. Unfortunately, none of the characters also remotely sympathetic drawn, most do not come across on the status of boring 0815-silhouette target from the 1x1 out of screenwriting. This is also true for the robots. Particularly unnerving to release the two twin Autobots Mudflap and skids, the humor Jar Jar Binks as Woody Allen does. Aaargh! Special inability to prove the team of authors and Bay to ensure that their characters "to tell to end". Once a character has nothing to contribute to the action, he simply appears not, without having to learn what became of him. That's bad storytelling at its best. This is the fact that the film is full of annoying elements that every thinking with the head Spectators burp negative: It starts with nasty digs at America's new President Obama and ends with the terrible jingoism brand "world police", who is here on display. American troops can sometimes just end up in Egypt and burn down as a huge battle in the middle of archaeological objects? Yes, No, it is clear ...
Here we see the only two reasons to watch this movie ... "A Michael Bay film I just happened not because of his characters, the story or even the logic of" many will say sure. And they may be right, but even in terms of action TRANSFORMERS 2 repeated the same mistakes of his predecessor. Although the special effects beyond any doubt, it hurt just to themselves, the robots are across the board so detailed with countless constantly moving parts, that even hard on a big screen, whereas to see a fight, who then there is fighting against whom, and where even the top or bottom. Exceptions like the characters Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, the notice by their color, confirm the rule.
Michael Bay has already announced that he will now take a break from the TRANSFORMERS universe in need. This will put many a fan securely in fear and terror, since the strip is, despite its lousy quality deflection is the most successful of this year. Understand that, if you want. At the current in Slow-Motion, sweaty Megan Fox may not have located only ... When I came out of the theater, I was of all the explosions and all the noise still so stunned that I actually TRANSFORMERS II is better, no, was less bad than the first part. Meanwhile, I have revised my opinion. Although I'm a fan of large values show in the cinema, I can say that one will have to strip the only fun if you liked the first film. All others should be said: Here we are dealing with a soulless package, which is a serious threat to every gray cell in your Heads represents. Hands off! Better still, eyes and ears!
