Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Early Reviews Not so Favorable
While Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will probably end up being the number one movie at the box office when the dust settles on this weekend’s movie receipts, early reviews of the film suggest that this could be one of the worst comic book/action figure/sci-fi adaptations of all time. Michael Bay has received sharp criticism for his work on the film over the first two installments, and judging from some of the rather pointed comments made about this entry into the Transformers’ universe, it could very well be warranted.
Noted film critic Roger Ebert, in giving the film one star, pulled no punches, stating in part of his review that the film, “is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments.” Ouch!
Ebert went a bit further, hammering away at the actual robots themselves by saying, “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.”
