Trivialidades:

Jetfire mentions that his father was the first wheel. This statement, while it seems to be senile blather, is a reference to the Autobot spy Scrounge, who appeared in the "Transformers" comics (and who transformed into a wheel-like mode).

Errores:

Errores en Geografía: When Megatron and Starscream communicate after Sam has escaped they are supposed to be in New York City; however, the two Decepticons are seen on top of the "Gas Company Tower" in Los Angeles, California.

Citas:

[from trailer]
Sam Witwicky: Can you read this?
Skids: Read? Unh uh.
Mudflap: We don't - we don't really do much reading.

Crude and boring

When Shakespeare's Hamlet spoke of life being "...a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing." he was actually referring to a Michael Bay film. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the movie equivalent of a 13 year old boy who has stopped taking his ADHD meds and overindulged on caffeine, sugar, video games and porn. It makes me wonder if Michael Bay actually is a 13 year old boy--the victim of a tragic case of arrested development. 13 year old boys also appear to be the target demographic that this movie was made for.

In Revenge of the Fallen the dialog mostly consists of people yelling inanities at each other and robots making expository speeches that attempt to provide some vague skeleton of a plot. The female characters are either soft-porn eye candy or blithering idiots. Or both. The violence is almost non-stop, interrupted occasionally by jokes which revolve around scrotums and testicles and oral sex and humping. The ethnic stereotypes are shocking. The homophobia is palpable. This film displays all of the tact, intellect and decency of a locker room full of pubescent boys.

Once the action kicks in, it is relentless. The battling robots are mostly incomprehensible blurs of motion and color and clanging noises. The music pounds. Guns and cannons fire. Jets roar. Things explode. The characters run and yell. It quickly becomes tedious, but it goes on and on and on like this. When it was over, I walked out of the theater dizzy.

The best part of seeing Revenge of the Fallen was when I left the theater, got into my car, closed my eyes and basked in sweet silence.
