"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" [fr="Transformers 2 : La Revanche"] ~ 2/10


This huge shit is the result of an american toy seller (Hasbro) who decided in the eighties to create an animated series based on Japan's awful way of making animation (that is to say without animating much...), so as to sell new robot toys to poor brainwashed kids.
Whilst the 1984 TV animated series and the 1986 very bad animated movie where just shitty enough to sell toys, the two recent Michael Bay films actually are United States of Paranoia's new weapon of mass destruction, hence making director Michael Bay a war criminal.
Indeed, when America's overwhelming movie distribution annihilates every other single culture in the world to replace it with those kind of imperialistic propaganda productions, and shows this ugly behaviour throughout the productions themselves, like for instance the symbolic and destructive act of using a hammer to practice archeology excavation (perpetrated in this 2nd movie), they just keep on provoking world's hate for America. This hate might well be passive for the countries were you can find it : when America tries to show France as a coward country which does not want to struggle against dictatorship and/or terrorism, America just tries to hide how pitiful they felt when they knew that without France's ability for military actions and strategy, they would just send their numerous and inexperienced soldiers to get killed. Those Americans who got hated did start themselves, by hating the very country that, in the whole world, does best defend every other culture (France is the biggest movie producer of foreign movies in the world). And in "Transformers 2", they keep on insulting Egypt, France (who's prick enough to come to Paris just to spit snails because they cannot open to food other than obesity-makers ?), Africa, China, you name it...

I wouldn't even comment the cinematographic side of this production, except maybe for this : despite the lack of animation in the 86 movie, it was at least drawn well enough to actually see the robots, while in this 2009 movie you just try to understand what's going on, as the robots are too detailed in their design to actually see them on screen.

Hollywood shows war in so many movies (often with French bad guys...), that I wonder how a people who suffered so many deaths by going on wrong wars can possibly produce such war-entertainment ? And how can a man direct "Schindler's List" and then produce such a negationist movie ?
Two very plain jokes (I remember having laughed twice in front of this film, but I don't remember why) won't cover the fact that this movie is guilty of contributing to the world's destruction (I wouldn't even dare imagining how many gallons of gas they burnt in the atmosphere with the dozens of big military vehicules shown here...).

The very existence of such a shit is a shame.
