Now Transformers Revenge of the Fallen did not make me feel any way, other than upset. As always I will try not to ruin any of the movie for you, but I may not be able to help myself.

Transformers is one of my favorite movies of all time. I saw it 5 times in the theater when it first came out. I couldn't get enough, it gave me such a rush.

First of all Megatron is nobodies bitch! Only like 3-4 Decepticons even speak during the entire movie. Bonecrusher the Decepticon Optimus Prime rails in Transformers is back, but only in the background and for a few seconds. He was clearly killed in Transformers! Barricade who is an awesome bad guy was not even in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and he survived the first movie. WTF? There's like 8 Constructicons in the movie, they don't speak or have any personality and Devastator was a disappointment for me. He sure did fucking look cool ... STANDING THERE!
Soundwave sounded cool, but didn't do anything except float around the earth ... worthless. Ravage was awesome, there's one assault with Ravage doing some pwnn, that was super cool.
***Spoiler***
I can go on forever here ... The Terminatrix Decepticon was one of the stupidest ideas ever. Why not even try to explain why you have a character like that. Doesn't make any sense to me. The kitchen coming alive and raiding the house was worthless as a matter of fact all of the microcons were worthless.
***Spoiler***
As far as the Autobots go Sideswipe was awesome, but underutilized. Bumblebee is cool I like him a lot, he kicks some ass in the movie, one of the rare scenes I enjoyed. Volt WTF is a Volt? He was in the movie for like two seconds and not until the very end. Jetfire was different from the old cartoon, but wasn't that bad. I would have rather him just be a new pwnn ass jet. Mudflap and Skids were also one of the most ridiculous ideas in this movie, two gangsta talking and LOOKING Transformers complete with gold teeth. From what I can remember you don't even actually see them transform into cars. Fuck you Michael Bay for that one.
The Military was also not used in the same capacity as they were in the Transformers. When I watched Transformers I felt like I was getting a look at the military that was exclusive, I have never seen the military in movies on that level. The way they spoke in code and all the jets, weapons and military bases. In Transformers Revenge of the Fallen it felt like there was just an army there and not the actual United States Military. Remember the scene where the marines fight Scorponok in the desert ... Well there is nothing like that in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. WTF!
As far as the story goes ... I didn't give a fuck. Decepticons are looking for some shit and the Autobots gotta stop them. That's the way the cartoon has been for the last 20 years. Just like the first movie. That didn't matter to me. I wanted to see high quality kick ass robot action, transformations, explosions, and some military brute force. Didn't happen for me like that. I'll probably go see it one more time "lol" just to see Devastator stand there. I heard the IMAX has extended fight scenes.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen - I expected more of a sequel and it was like a different movie for me. A bad movie.
