Transformers

Some of you have been waiting with bated breath for the new movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Since it's rated PG-13, I'm not giving it a full review; however, I will give you an overview.

Bottom line: I was disappointed and disgusted. Revenge of the Fallen contains more sexuality and more bad language than the first movie. It also contains some racial stereotyping, a drug use situation, and a lot of distasteful jokes that just plain weren't funny. In addition, the writers failed to develop the characters, which left them flat and boring, and the plot seemed more like a flimsy excuse to use CG (computer-generated graphics) than an engaging story. I think the writers thought if they blew enough stuff up, they could get away with not including other elements that normally make moviewatching enjoyable. The CG was well done, but the "battle" scenes were so long they actually became boring after a while. I seriously dozed off at one point . . . during one of the battle scenes!

The first Transformers movie, in my opinion, contained some good stuff and some junk; Revenge of the Fallen is mostly just junk.

On another note, did you know that God wants YOU to be a Transformer? Check it out in Romans 12:2: "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will."
