Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

If you want to tear a movie apart in the first two paragraphs of a review this is how it's done...

Roger Ebert say,

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.
The plot is incomprehensible. The dialog of the Autobots®, Decepticons® and Otherbots® is meaningless word flap. Their accents are Brooklyese, British and hip-hop, as befits a race from the distant stars. Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up. They are dumb as a rock. They share the film with human characters who are much more interesting, and that is very faint praise indeed...

  5. Ebert has done much better reviews. That one is only popular because it is Transformers. I suggest reading his review of Revolver or North. Both are hilarious. I remember one had something to do with if the projector caught fire half way through the movie the audience would cheer.
