The Decepticons Strike Back - Transformers 2

One of the biggest blockbuster movies of this past summer, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. This movie picks up after the events that took place in the extremely successful first enstallment of the franchise, Transformers. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen offers everything an action lover would want in a summer hit, great special effects, especially the CGI robots, fight scenes, explosions, and lots of fast paced action as the heros race around the globe to avert the latest crisis. This movie, while maybe not as good as its predecessor, is still a perfect combination of action and sci-fi that will entertain any fan of the first movie.

Michael Bay, well known for his action movies, and massive explosions, is back behing the camera directing this sequel, and it is evident throughout the film. The non stop action and excitement are typical of what you would expect from a Michael Bay movie, such as Armageddon or The Rock. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen also has all of the familiar faces from the first movie return, including Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and John Turturro. Tuturro's role as both the mentor to LaBeouf, and the comic relief in the movie, really stands out, which should not be a surprise considering how talented of an actor he is.

Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen may not be as suitable for younger children as the first Transformers movie was. There are several scenes where both robots and humans use profain language, and their are also several scenes that are sexually suggestive. The movie is rated PG-13, so if you have children under 13 who want to see the movie you probably should watch it first and then decide if it is appropriate for your kids.

The plot of the movie feels a little forced, and doesn't make much sense, but again, this should be expected when going to see a movie like this. If you are looking for a fun summer action movie then Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a great choice, if you are looking for an intellegent, thought provoking film then you should probably take this movie out of your shopping cart. Both the 2 disc DVD and Blu-ray versions of the movies come with great extras including making of specials and deleted scenes. The Blu-ray version also comes with a digital copy of the movie that you can watch on your computer or other handheld devices.

Since Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen was just as succesful as the first enstallment, it almost guarantees that their will be a Transformers 3 in the future. That movie will be sure to have even more explosions and special effects, and if they can improve the story it may help to keep the franchise going for a long time.
