With this week forever known among geeks as “Foreplay ’09” we are starting to get our first online reviews of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.
WorstPreviews shares:
IGN UK: Epic, spectacular but unfortunately far, far too long; the film proves that when it comes to Michael Bay blockbuster movies, you can have too much of a good thing.
TotalFilm: Fallen so frequently approaches the first pic’s all-out awesomeness, and even occasionally surpasses it – notably in an opening blitzkrieg in Shanghai and a forest face-off between Optimus Prime and three Decepticons – that it’s this close to being the perfect summer flick.
Sounds mostly positive with tiny glimpses of negative that are hardly deal breakers.
Kind of like that big rock at the beach you get excited about jumping off of into that cool refreshing river water, but there is still that hint of fear wondering if the water is deep enough. Then someone says “It’s deep enough” and you get that exhilarating rush of confidence as you hurl yourself off.
I had a nagging doubt that Bay wouldn’t live up to his own awesome, but it sounds like he has another winner.
