Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

I caught an afternoon showing and will say if you liked the first one you'll like this one. It has good action,lots of explosions, military hardware, neat guns, chases, and of course excellent special effects. It looks on the military with respect and government appointees and bureaucrats with contempt. I liked it. There's one scene where a bureaucrat tells an Army Captain that the White House trumps his general. Later the same bureaucrat tells the same Captain to stand down while they negotiate with the Decepticons and even consider turning Sam Witwicky over to them. The U. S. President is named in the movie as Obama. That's probably the normal use of formula characters and me drawing my own conclusions but hey.... Go see the movie, at about 2 hours and fifteen minutes it's a helluva ride.
