“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is the film I dreaded back in 2007.
Before the first “Transformers” hit theatres, I had negative expectations.
And then the “fans” started bitching.

“Where were the robots?”
“Why wasn’t “Favorite Transformer X” not in the movie?”
“Who comes to a “Transformers” movie to see the people?
The moment you shut out their shrill, tremulous voices, the happier you’ll be for it.”
I almost wanted to call the NAACP in the middle of the movie to let them know.
And I’m not a PC-guy.
Oh, and just to make it even better, their voice actor is a white guy.
You’re welcome, Race Relations.
Yet if my audience is any indication, folks will eat this shit up.

Most of the first film’s humor relied on Shia LaBeouf’s tremendous charm and comic timing.
If you are twelve years old, you are going to love this movie.
In the end, “Transformers” is about spectacle, right?
Let’s see robots punching each other!
I hate to break this to everyone, but that gets old fast.
It gets old even faster when you don’t care about the robots doing the punching.

If anything, as a fan of the first film, I’m deeply disappointed by the sequel.
What I enjoyed was removed and replaced with weak humor and meaningless spectacle.
I’m not talking about that.
I’m talking about all the other scenes.
***And no, they didn’t go through a “space bridge”.
They go through a space bridge later when they go from the Arizona behind the Museum to Egypt.
