If you liked the first Transformers, then you'll like the sequel, and in a way that's the problem. I thoroughly enjoyed Revenge of the Fallen, and was suprised at how quickly 2 and a half hours can go by. My only complaint, and the reason I took a star away, is that by the end of the movie, I felt like I had just watched the first movie over again. There were too many similarities to the first Transformers movie, and I came away feeling a little underwhelmed. Not by the special effects, which were first-rate, but by how the story played out. It almost felt as if this wasn't a sequel, but the first movie made somehow 'more epic.'
