Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen is really a long movie... 2 hours 30 minutes with almost nonstop action is abit too much.
Story-wise, it looks okay but I must stress that it does not justify all those robots that are featured in the movie... First of all, these many new robots are there just to make a cameo appearance in the movie (some people comment that this is to give it a reason to be appear on the shelves in those toys stores). Also, maybe due to their cameo, there was no "introduction" about them except that they came to Earth when they received the signal sent by Optimus Primes at the end of the first movie. A good as the CGI is done, it actually did a bad job at differentiate the many Decepticons, since most of them are in about the same colours. I got confused as to who-is-who and who-the-h***-is-dat?
Maybe the director purposely choose not to follow the original storyline but I find that many of the robots (Autobots and Decepticons) does not really talk. This actually dehumanized those characters that was supposed to be very human-like in the original cartoon...
The fun part about the movie actually comes in from the Twins Autobots, Mudflap and Skids. Both are hyperactive and talk almost nonstop. They actually provide the comic-relief for the most part of the movie and for most of the time, I thought there are not really useful. It was until their "battle" with The Constructicons who combined to become Devastator... I like their attitute then when they seems like having fun even though they are facing a very big problem, the Devastator.
Another comic-relief was in a form of Wheelie. It is a blue radio-controlled toy monster truck. Initally, it served Decepticons but soon realized that he can choose to be on the forces of good. Initially caught by Mikaela, Wheelie soon become attached to her as he found her "hot".
