MOVIE REVIEW – TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN ? REVIEW
too frantic, proving that sometimes more is less. The last third of the movie is one long battle that takes place in Egypt that seems to stretch on as far as the desert sand. It is also impossible to tell what is actually going on in some of the sequences and they come off like an orgy, mish mash of robots parts and explosions. Nonetheless, some of the action scenes are truly exhilarating (specifically ones featuring either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee) and will make your seat shake while keeping your eyes glued to the screen. It should also be noted that Bay does a fine job utilizing his actors to great effect and mining several laughs out of the comedic elements of the script.
All of the actors do the best they can with the material, but the weight of the movie clearly rest’s on the shoulders of Shia LaBeouf, who ably carries the film as our reluctant hero.
