Robots in Disguise, Shia The Buff and A Fox. Again.

So if you figured out the riddle in the title then you will have already figured out that this blog will be a type of review of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. I actually was asked to do a review on this movie after someone read my Twilight review. So heeeere goes.

I will not lie, I was counting down to this movie as soon as I saw the short trailer several months ago. If any of you have a casual knowledge of what kind of movies I like, then this is no surprise. I squealed when I saw Prime on his way back into theaters. But alas it seems when you build something up so much it has that much further to fall. And in this case, they did it heart-wrenchingly. The heartbreak factor was because the action was suberb. I LOVED the storyline. But they changed some of the essential characteristics of the main players. In this film, The Autobots use petty language and begin displaying brutal fighting moves, ripping the Decepticons limb from limb. Not the Autobots I am familiar with. But that was only a small detail albeit an important one. My problem (shocker) was with the sexual content of this movie. You might say "But Lisa no one is seen having sex in this movie!" You are right there. But isn't that always the case with these so-called pG-13 movies? They don't show "it" but they hint at it, flirt with it, and dance around "it" I like to call it "tightrope" sexual content. It doesn't plunge headfirst into explicit content but rather keeps a delicate balance, just enough to keep the audience "entertained". This tightrope performance is played by two characters. In a starring role is Ms. Megan Fox ,Leading lady from the previous film. In the 2007 movie, Ms. Fox was seen as a possible love interest for Sam (Shia Lebouf). Well in this film she is a full-fledged girlfriend. Such an innocent word, girlfriend. In actuality, she is a sex object from the first moment she is onscreen in ROTF, straddling a bike in the most ladylike of ways. The rest of the movie follows suit. The other role a new lady in a side role but she is not really a lady at all. She is some odd infiltrating transformer that looks like a a hot chick. While trying to seduce Sam (laying horizontally on top of him on a bed), this hot chick's tongue turns into a barbed metal spike of sorts. She then attempts to kill him. Appetizing. And inappropriate content aside, a useless plot twist. So in the end I must call it a draw. I liked the movie. It was entertaining. But the over-the-line content means I cannot recommend it to anyone with a good conscience.
