I just got back from the midnight showing of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It was good. It was very, very good. It fixed a lot of the problems from the first movie. While still far from perfect, it was still a very good movie, which should please most fans, as well as make it up to some who felt shafted by the previous film. Below, I have listed some of the pro's and con's. Fair warning, there might be possible spoilers.

Pro's

1. The Pacing. The film moves at a much more even pace than the last one. While there are still a few moments that are a bit jarring, on a whole, the movie just felt smoother.

2. The Humans. Much less annoying this time around. Also less of them.

3. The Transformers. They are in this one more often, and the time focused on them, and on the humans, felt a better balanced, as opposed to the first film, which made them practically look like guest stars in their own movie.

4. The story. It makes more sense this time, and actually fills in a couple holes from the first one.

Con's

1. The language. They add in a lot of swearing. More than they really needed to. It gets a little grating after awhile.

2. Stormtrooper syndrome. If your name isn't Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron or Starscream, there is a good chance you die in this film.

3. The fight scenes. A little better than the first film, but it still has the same problem as before, that namely being the camera moves around so damn much you can't really focus on anything.

4. The violence. Really only a con in that you might not want to take your 6 year old to this one. They pushed the PG-13 rating harder than most of those slasher movies aimed at teenagers.
