Welcome to Reel Reviews. This is not your regular movie review site because I am not your average movie critic. I am a fan of movies, not a critic. I love all types of movies: comedies, action, drama, romantic, horror, etc. I am not here to make myself look good by running down good old fashion enjoyable popcorn flicks that always seem to be bashed by critics. I am here to let you know how the movies I see truly stack up to expectations and if they are worth your $10.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen


The autobots and decepticons are back for another larger than life robot slugfest in the highly anticipated sequel to 2007's Transformers, in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Shia LeBeouf is back as Sam Witwicky to join once again with Optimus Prime and the autobots in a life or death struggle of good and evil with the decepticons and their leader Megatron, for the control over a device of almost limitless power.


Initial reviews of the movie, like every Michael Bay film, have been anything but positive. Once again critics prove my point to why a website like this needs to exist. Transformers was the best "popcorn flick" of 2007. It was enjoyable for anyone of any age and background and was liked by almost all who saw the film. The word of mouth from this film turned this movie from a "fanboys" movie to a huge success with audiences of all types and ages.


If you liked the first movie, then from what the critics are saying you will like the sequel as it is "more of the same." At 147 minutes long the sequel promises more action and even more bots for our enjoyment. Don't forget to get your midnight showing tickets for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning if you want to be the first to catch what is likely to be the biggest film of the year (excluding Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince no movie will challenge Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).
