'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Makes Explosive Hollywood Premiere

Some played with the action figures when they were children; others remember the cartoon show. Some were there to see Megan Fox on the big-screen; others were there for Shia LaBeouf. The one thing everyone on the red carpet for Monday's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" premiere seemed to share, however, was a love of all things big, noisy and — in the immortal words of Michael Bay — awesome.

"We made history in this movie with a scene that involved the biggest explosion scene with actors in it," marveled series star Tyrese, who joked that the hairs on the back of his neck still haven't grown back. "It was this huge explosion."

Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson return as testosterone-fuelled marines Lennox and Epps respectively. John Turturro is twitchy ex-FBI agent/current conspiracy theorist butcher Simmons. Ramon Rodriguez is super-annoying teen web entrepreneur Leo.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen -- movie review
I have a confession to make -- a dirty little secret, if you will: I like Michael Bay movies. Notice I did not say “films” ... I said movies. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some films of the art house variety, too, but I (unlike other stuffy critics) know when to leave my brain at the door, release my inner adolescent and enjoy a cinematic thrill ride. And Bay has been honing his thrill ride formula for a good little while now. Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon (love that one), Pearl Harbor -- the man’s got his recipe down pat. One gets the feeling that Bay overdosed on 1970’s Spielberg films (especially Jaws and Close Encounters), 1980’s Tony Scott movies (I’ll bet he LOVED Top Gun), and everything directed by James Cameron (their common motto: THINK BIG).
