Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
A complete hackjob.
CGI and sound all are top-notch, it's truly amazing what they can do today. It is horribly apparent, however, that the guys behind this think so too, and wants to make that abundantly clear by shoving 2h of it down your throat, non-stop. And the initial amazement turns into boredom and annoyance.
There is a laugh here and there, but other than that, what else makes up the movie is so extremely poorly done, there really isn't much movie here at all. It's like they started out creating action sequence after another with little or no respect to a story or plot, and then superglued it together with some subpar plot-fluff and poor acting. The movie is a near-complete hackjob.
In all sincerity, with respect to the much disliked director Uwe Boll's quarrel with Michael Bay, I actually believe that if Uwe were given the same resources truly WASTED on this movie, he would produce something similar or even better.
I also saw Steven Spielberg's name there somewhere. Which is just sad, given the man's earlier work.
Personally, I will not waste any more money on these kind of movies ever again.
