"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." I liked this movie far more than the first Transformers movie. I remember sitting through the first one and wondering what all the hype was about. This one was much more fun as a summer popcorn movie. Of course, this movie will hardly go down as a classic of any type. There are some real plot holes. This link goes through some of them.
The Plot Holes
For me, point 7 is a real biggie. Sam, Mikaela and Simmons go into the Smithsonian. They walk out into a plane grave yard. I don't know about that one.
Point 8 is a biggie. Where did Israel go.
I also can't help but see this movie as making fun of Obama to a degree. The real idiot in this film is an Obama official. You know this when you hear that Obama has gone into hiding in middle America.
Even though this movie has some real stupid holes in it, it is enjoyable for what it is: a summer popcorn movie.
One could ask: This movie doesn't rank up there with last years' Dark Knight and Iron Man so how can you like it? Can't we ask for a summer pop corn movie that is both action packed and intelligent? Yes we can, but for the most part last summer was probably an anomaly and we must live with what we are given. And with that in mind, I say this is a good summer movie, flaws and all.
