It got one star one RT because the special effects were still excellent. Revenge of the Fallen, in my opinion, has been one of the worst movies I've ever seen in an actual movie theater. 2009 marked the release of the second film in the franchise, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But, yes, for all intents and purposes, I enjoyed the original movie at the time. With that said and, now, four sequels later (three of which I've seen), I don't know if I could go back and say that the original was a good movie, if I were to watch it again. So, in a way, you could say it stood out and, again, at the time, it was an entertaining movie. Summer blockbusters have always been about casual, popcorn entertainment, but I do think that there weren't many movies, at the time, like the original Transformers. But that was still before we were bombarded, figuratively and literally, by these movies. I'll be honest, I thought the first movie (at the time) was solid popcorn entertainment. It should be obvious, to the one person who probably follows my reviews on RottenTomatoes (since I haven't reviewed a film in this franchise on Letterboxd yet), that I've never been a big fan of the Transformers franchise.
