Transformers: Rise of the Fallen mini-review

Filed under: General — jbwhong @ 11:46 pm

The other night, I watched Transformers: Rise of the Fallen.

To be honest, I was disappointed by the first film. It didn’t spend enough time developing the robot characters. I thought the fight scenes were too confusing. I still thought it was a good film, though, because of the comic relief provided by Mr. and Mrs. Witwicky.

What’s sad is that although I think the first film missed the mark, it was better than the sequel. There was still not enough character development, and it was still difficult to figure out who was fighting with whom. In the Chinese battle scene, some robot sliced another robot in half, but I had to look it up on Wikipedia to figure out whether an Autobot or a Decepticon had been slain.

I hope they don’t make a third. Or, if they do, I hope they get it right for once.
