Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen – Blu Ray review
When i first watched the blu ray of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, that was in fact my first viewing of this movie. I did not end up going to see this at the cinemas, and it was probably for the best that i didn’t. Not that i thought this movie was all bad, but the main problem i had with the movie was its length. At 149 minutes, i kind of felt it hard at times to stay focused whilst watching this movie. Another complaint about the movie is that every scene is pretty much a huge action sequence. This is very typical from Director Michael Bay, but at times it did seem just too much to watch and absorb, due to the screen being filled with explosions of all colors and the fast paced mayhem of the robots fighting.
To put it simply, Transformers 2 is a full on action packed extravaganza. If fast paced action, explosions and fighting is what you’re into, then you will probably enjoy this movie. The movie did have a good feel of humor about it, as well as great acting performances from Shia Lebouf John Turturro,Kevin Dunn and Julie White,who all return from the first movie. As for the plot, it is probably hard to stay focused on due to the amount of action, but there is story there if you can looks past all the bright lights. I did find the back story of the robots quite entertaining, and certain scenes of the movie are visually quite amazing. Obviously if your a die hard Transformers fan, this movie will be for you, with a whole heap of new Autobots and Decepticons making an appearance than what was introduced in the first movie.
The blu ray version of this movie, does come jammed packed with special features, which is always good to have to go along with the main feature. Overall i did enjoy the movie, not as much as the first one, but it is Transformers, so it can be expected that it is going to be extreme. I rate it 7/10.
