The Awful Movie: Accepted by most to be the low-point of Michael Bay's Transformers franchise, Revenge of the Fallen is an egregiously overlong blockbuster with inane "humour", offensive new robot characters, atrocious pacing, casual sexism, exhausting action and...robot balls.

It's all of Bay's worst instincts as a filmmaker distilled into an inane, 150-minute bucket of cinematic slop.

The Awesome Scene: Optimus faces off against Megatron, Starscream and Sideways in the forest, where they beat the living snot out of each other with their robot fists and commit grave crimes against nature by using giant trees as weapons.

It's some of the best-focused action in the series, full of visual clarity, mimnimising Shia LaBoeuf's involvement, and touting a uniquely beautiful locale that adds some much-needed Earthy colour to the movie. Plus, if you didn't feel something when Optimus "died", you're probably lying.
