"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" premiered last night in theaters. This film created a lot of buzz as one of the potential blockbusters of the year. It was in a category with Twilight: New Moon, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
According to Tom Charity, at 149 minutes "Transformers" falls flat. He states, "Combat scenes are a bewildering blur of crunching metal. On top of that, the humans are essentially bystanders and onlookers here, so that LaBeouf's primary contribution to the fighting is to run away, duck and cover. It's the same deal for Megan Fox, only in lingering slow motion."
He also places a lot of blame on director, Michael Bay for not blowing things up in the manner that he is famous for. Aparently there isn't much to help the viewer distinguish between an Autobot (good) and a Decepticon (bad).
I thought his lead was good, but it could've been better. he used an alliteration, but it would've been more effective to use a catchy phrase to describe why the movie failed to make its mark. The lead is only 22 words, but for going over the 18-20 range, it could've been better. I also didn't like how Tom Charity kept bashing director, Michael Bay. I know he is the director, but why go into such detail of how big of a failure he is? It made me want to stop reading.
