Transformers revenge of the fallen

The difficult second album
I enjoyed the original Transformers movie. It was a nice popcorn piece. It avoided Fandom, and it told a simple story. A young lad growing up, has something amazing happen to him, and rises to the challenge, winning the heart of a beautiful lady
A tale as old as time. The follow up film, was going to be harder.
President Obama is name checked, which is interesting
The Geography is somewhat confused. They drive to Petra in Jordan, to Egypt and back
A lot of the action is based on Deigo Garcia. The last British territory in the Indian Ocean

The Union jack is all over  the film. There is a soldier wearing the sand coloured beret of the SAS.
The Autobots are in alliance with the US/UK I presume UN, as the opening scenes of the film happen in China. I am sure the PRC is going to allow the US to perform military operations in her territory
Nest rather then R.A.T.S a pity. There is a nice scene when the soliders mourn the fall of Optimus prime. They keep killing him on screen
There are two autobots who speak in Ebonics.
There is a funny scene with Grace under fire’s

This could have been a cool film. It starts of pretty well. Shia is a safe pair of hands, and Megan is lovely. There was a story I think that could be told about going through college, while you know a secret. A fantastic secret. The opening scenes in college are well done
They bring back John Turturro, too late in the film, but it’s nice to see him.
They visit the air and space museum in DC, and then run out to a airplane junkyard in Arizona.
Woo hoo! Jetfire, with a British accent, and the Constructicons

I had a toy jetfire
In conclusion. Less then it could have been, and too long. Its a film about talking walking robots. Add that to the everyman story of a a kid going through college. Don’t do it the other way round
