Transformers; It’s so bad, It’s not good at all…
July 16, 2009 12:59 pmI love big robots and I love computer animation. So why, was “Transformers; Revenge of the Fallen” one of my worst movie watching experiences of all time. I think it is worth the effort to elaborate on this horrible piece of cinema, because it should become a landmark of failure in most every realm of film making, decency, and ultimately imagination.
For now, Roger Ebert’s analysis captures the majority of my sentiments…
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.
The plot is incomprehensible. The dialog of the Autobots®, Decepticons® and Otherbots® is meaningless word flap. Their accents are Brooklyese, British and hip-hop, as befits a race from the distant stars. Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up. They are dumb as a rock. They share the film with human characters who are much more interesting, and that is very faint praise indeed.
