This episode is very dark, and emotionally effective, but it's incredibly well done and engaging throughout.

The acting is good, the script is amazing, the effects are decent, and the whole thing comes together very well.

It's depressing, and affects you strongly, but it's still worth seeing.

I was genuinely excited for this film when they announced Ryan Coogler, the director of Creed, (one of the best films I saw in 2016) was going to be in the director's chair.

But man, did Coogler misfire badly here. Badly filmed action, mostly under baked characters, rushed pacing, too many awkward moments, cringe humour, and some laughably bad CGI in the final battle.

The only good things were Michael.B Jordan's great acting and Ludwig Gorransson's great score.

Bland slop, don't believe the hype. I don't love the MCU, but they have put out stuff that's light years ahead of this.

This film rightfully deserves it's rating of 3 - Garbage. Because that's all it is and ever will be.

In a nutshell, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a victim of many things: the 2007/2008 'Writer's Strike', that resulted in the film's incoherent plot. It's also a victim of Michael Bay's obnoxious humour, that is crammed into this movie, and a victim of Michael's signature plain cringey moments that permeate this film to the core.

It's also a victim of Michael Bay's terrible oversexualisation, that also permeates most of his films.

Those things drag this film down to the terrible state it's in. But there are some good things about this film. The Forest Battle is excellent and is the best action scene in all the Bayformers films, ironically. And the CGI is very good, just as good as Jablonsky's epic score for this film.

But these things don't save this steaming pile of garbage.

Don't see this film unless you want to appreciate good movies even more because of it.
