Oh hi,

This week on Film sucking-the-sack, we have FALLEN and we can’t REVENGE up until we TRANFORMERS our bad attitude about watching this 2009 SCI-FI/Action part 2 starring our favorite childhood toys now unapologetically humping our collective leg  over on Paramount Plus and oddly…. not Amazon Prime… Reet Rot Root. But come on Has-Bruh.. Why everything so horny in your robot’s in disguise flick? 

Anywho, As The Fallen Prime, I have fled from the Earth to here on the icy moon of Saturn…I want to say 3… and embraced my namesake by literally just laying here for centuries like some sort of little old lady who has fallen and can’t get up… with only my ungrateful son Star Scream and his grating voice to keep me company. Here, just take my spark! I mean you have already taken my will to live… wait… am I depressed?  I think I may be depressed.

Randy, look what I found… it is your baby booties. Great, now I’m crying again.

      • Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes – Knows cars, wears denim shorts, runs in slow motion.
      • Josh Duhamel & Tyrese Gibson – Military dudes. Probably underpaid.
      • John Turturro as Simmons – Former agent turned conspiracy nut.

      • Hugo Weaving as Megatron – Kinda just takes orders in this one.
      • Tony Todd as The Fallen – Evil grandpa robot.
      • Michael Bay as Himself – The real star of the movie.

      • The Fallen wants to harvest the Sun… because reasons.
      • Optimus Prime dies. But not really.

    • Memorable Scenes:

      • The forest battle – Optimus Prime wrecking shop before getting shish-kebabed.
      • Simmons under Devastator’s wrecking balls (unnecessary, Michael Bay).
      • Jetfire explaining everything in his best “grumpy old British guy” voice.
      • The Matrix of Leadership being… dust? That somehow still works?
      • “Give me your FACE!” – Optimus Prime has had enough.

    • The Bayhem Factor:

      • Bigger, louder, dumber – peak Bay cinema.
      • Every female character is framed like a car commercial.
      • Slow-motion military action with American flags waving.
      • Dialogue that exists just to fill time between explosions.
