This is a movie about badass alien robots, not a moving journey highlighting the tragic human condition. If you are an uptight film snob, I'd recommend avoiding it. That being said, I'd much rather watch this than that Slumdog garbage any day of the week. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an adrenaline filled 150 minute ride. Michael Bay does what he does best for the entire movie, launching you into an epic larger than life thrill that epitomizes both the word fun and the much loved 80's cartoon on which it was based. Definitely a good time and worth the overpriced cost of a ticket.
